I can't wait for a KPop Demon Hunters sequel, but I'm still not convinced Netflix is actually going to learn anything from the original's success

KPop Demon Hunters still of Rumi and the blue demon tiger.

Look, I'm only human, so the news that Netflix is actively engaged in talks with Sony about a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters is certainly cause for celebration. But this also only confirms what I've been worried about since the animated movie first released to significant success: Netflix hasn't necessarily learned anything quite yet, and there's no guarantee it will, and even if it does it certainly seems like it might be the wrong lessons.

If you're somehow not already aware, KPop Demon Hunters – officially Netflix's most popular movie of all time as of this week – features a trio of K-pop stars tasked with keeping the world safe from demons through song. Their group, Huntrix, is at the top of the charts and trying to permanently seal the demons away when a demon boy band tries to beat them at their own game.
