Last week, K-Pop Demon Hunter was poised to make Netflix history today, it officially has.
The blockbuster animated film has shattered records with 236 million views, becoming Netflix’s most-watched movie ever, surpassing Red Notice.
On August 26, Variety confirmed the milestone, declaring the summer sensation as the most-streamed film in the platform’s history.
Blending K-pop stardom with supernatural action, the story follows a girl group who battle demons by night while performing to sold-out arenas by day. The film, directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans (with a screenplay co-written alongside Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan), is based on Kang’s original concept.
Its star-studded voice cast includes Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo Seop, May Hong, and Ji Young Yoo, while the soundtrack featuring hitmakers like Ejae, Jenna Andrews, Danny Chung, Vince, Kush, and Lindgren is climbing global charts.
Since its June 20 premiere, K-Pop Demon Hunter has earned praise for its imaginative world-building and irresistible energy, with critics calling it both “high-concept” and “charming.” With record-breaking numbers and a chart-topping OST, it has cemented itself as Netflix’s biggest hit of the year.
