Netflix has revealed its Top 10 most-watched films of 2026 so far, and Kpop Demon Hunters is still sitting on the list, despite being a year old.
The animated musical has made it to the Netflix Top Five with 130million views in just 2026 alone. It instantly smashed records when released, becoming the streamer’s most-watched film ever.
KPop Demon Hunters has now notched up 648.7M views overall, and remains the streamer’s most popular film of all time. Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the film focuses on a KPop trio who secretly lead double lives as supernatural demon hunters.
The song “Golden,” which was written for and appears in the film, won two Academy Awards, a Grammy, two Golden Globes and topped the charts around the world.
The only films to surpass Kpop Demon Hunters in this recent streaming ranking were the animated comedy Swapped, in which Michael B. Jordan lends his voice, the crime drama The Rip, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and the military thriller War Machine.
Other films that made the newly revealed Top 10 included Apex – the horror flick with Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton, Emily Henry adaptation People We Meet On Vacation, and survival-thriller Thrash.
This is followed by Jennifer Lopez rom com Office Romance, Peaky Blinders spin-of The Immortal Man and car crash documentary The Crash.
Netflix have confirmed that a Kpop Demon Hunters sequel is coming, not surprisingly considering the viewing numbers.
“I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters,” Maggie Kang told Tudum. “There’s so much more to this world we have built, and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning.”
Chris Appelhans added: “These characters are like family to us, their world has become our second home. We’re excited to write their next chapter, challenge them, and watch them evolve — and continue pushing the boundaries of how music, animation, and story can come together.”
