On the heels of KPop Demon Hunters’ recent triumph at the American Music Awards, Netflix’s animated movie musical phenomenon is further expanding its footprint with three upcoming book releases.
KPop Demon Hunters, of course, has had a global impact since its release on Netflix on June 20, 2025, starting with the film’s massive viewership. Within the film’s first 91 days, it became the most streamed Netflix movie, globally, to date with 325.1 million views, which equates to 541.8 million viewing hours.
The viewership, however, was only the beginning, as the film and its anthem “Golden” went on to capture several top industry and critic honors, including Best Animated Film and Best Original Song honors from the Oscars, Critics’ Choice Awards and Golden Globes, as Best Animated Film honors from the Annie Awards and the Producers Guild of America.
Most recently, KPop Demon Hunters nabbed four trophies at the American Music Awards, including Song of the year for singing voices of HUNTR/X from the film EJAE (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira) and Rei Ami (Zoey).
The phenomenal success of KPop Demon Hunters has led to several merchandising initiatives for such toy brands as Mattel and Hasbro with dolls, action figures and games inspired by the characters and events of the film.
Next up, publisher Random House Worlds is taking the action from the screen to the page with three new collectible book releases that tap “into the intersection of K-pop, fantasy storytelling, and fandom culture, offering fans new ways to engage with the world beyond the screen.”
“The Art of KPop Demon Hunters: Platinum Edition,” “KPop Demon Hunters: The Official Coloring Book” and KPop Demon Hunters: The Deluxe Screen Comic.”
