The wildly popular animated musical film “KPop Demon Hunters” is returning to theaters.
The most-watched original title in Netflix history, “KPop Demon Hunters” premiered on the streaming platform in June. A sing-along version of the film was then released in theaters in August. Just a couple of months later, “KPop Demon Hunters” is returning to the big screen for a Halloween sing-along event.
The “KPop Demon Hunters” sing-along will be available in all major U.S. theatrical chains — AMC, Regal, and Cinemark — as well as other select theaters. Tickets are on sale now for the limited event, which runs from Friday, Oct. 31, through Sunday, Nov. 2. Fans are invited to come dressed as their favorite character from the film.
“KPop Demon Hunters” follows Huntr/x, a K-pop girl group who lead double lives as demon hunters. Their musical rivals, boy band the Saja boys, are secretly demons.
Arden Cho (Rumi), May Hong (Mira), and Ji-young Yoo (Zoey) lead the voice cast as the members of Huntr/x. Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami provided the singing voices of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, respectively.
“Lost” alum Yunjin Kim voices the role of Celine, a former demon hunter and K-pop idol who raised Rumi after her mom’s death. Broadway star Lea Salonga provided Celine’s singing voice.

The theatrical return proves that fans can’t get enough of “KPop Demon Hunters” and its catchy music. Maggie Kang, who cowrote, co-directed, and created the story of the film, thinks there’s room for a sequel.
“There’s definitely more we can do with these characters in this world,” Kang told the BBC earlier this month.”And whatever it will be, it will be a story that deserves to be a sequel, and it will be something that we want to see.”
As for the film’s early Oscars buzz — it has a chance at both Best Animated Film and Best Original Song — Kang’s co-director Chris Appelhans told the BBC, “We tried to do something new and it was really hard, and I think we’re really proud of how it came out. If people are going to reward that, that would be awesome.”
“KPop Demon Hunters” is available to stream on Netflix.
