K-Pop Demon Hunters: Netflix Confirms Season 2 and Possible Live-Action Adaptation

What started as a fun animated adventure has now exploded into a full-blown global phenomenon. K-Pop Demon Hunters, the hit Netflix animated film, isn’t just dominating streaming charts — it’s also making history on the world’s most competitive music stage, the Billboard Hot 100.

KPOP Demon Hunters: HUNTRIX rules Billboard 100 for 7 Consecutive Weeks

🎶 "Golden" Rules Billboard for 7 Straight Weeks

The movie’s soundtrack single, “Golden” by HUNTR/X, has achieved something no one expected: holding the No.1 spot on Billboard Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks. That makes it one of the top 10 longest-running film songs at No.1 in Billboard’s 67-year history — placing it alongside TLC’s legendary Waterfalls (1995).

With over 33.8 million streams and 33.9 million radio plays, “Golden” even surpassed Gorillaz, becoming the first-ever animated group track to enter the U.S. Radio Top 10. For fans, the reaction has been priceless:

“People spend money on concerts, but I just turn on Netflix and my idol still charts on Billboard!”

👑 A Historic First for K-Pop Girl Groups

The success of “Golden” also cements HUNTR/X as the first girl group connected to K-pop to top the Billboard Hot 100. It continues a proud tradition of girl group domination that began with legends like Destiny’s Child, proving once again that female voices are shaping global pop culture.

The result? Netflix and Sony have already greenlit a sequel, and rumors are swirling about a possible live-action adaptation. Some even speculate the franchise could make an Oscar run, turning what started as a quirky animated K-pop story into a serious awards contender.
