As if the most successful animated film on Netflix hasn’t already generated enough attention, Kpop Demon Hunters sets yet another record – and by a wide margin.
What has the film achieved? The 91-day viewing period for all audiences of Kpop Demon Hunters, which Netflix conducts for all its projects, is now over. According to What’s on Netflix, the film has been watched a total of 325.1 million times during this period since its release – that’s over 500 million hours of streaming.
This establishes Kpop Demon Hunters as a new record holder on Netflix, previously held by another extremely popular Netflix project, whose 265.2 million views have now been surpassed. Thus, the animated film featuring the fighting Kpop idols has been streamed over 60 million times more than Netflix’s most successful series season ever: the first season of Squid Game.

What has the film already achieved? Kpop Demon Hunters has not only made a splash with music genre fans but has also captivated the mainstream completely. After its release, the film not only landed in the top 10 on Netflix but went straight to number 1 and managed to become the most-watched film of all time on the streaming platform before the end of the viewer count collection period – with the film being less than 2 months old.
Furthermore, the film’s group, the Huntrix, achieved number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with their song “Golden”, a feat no girl group has accomplished in 20 years, let alone a Kpop artist.
What makes the record even more impressive? Squid Game, especially the first season of the series, had an unusually large audience, not only in South Korea but also in the West. Compared to the second season, it was streamed about 70 million times more.
The figures were considered almost unbeatable until Kpop Demon Hunter swept them away. However, it must be mentioned that the film managed to surpass the series even before the end of the 91-day period. By June 20, the streaming count was already over 300 million. Now the new record to beat is established. What project can top it remains to be seen.
Kpop Demon Hunters is officially not only the most successful animated film on the site but also the most successful film overall that you can watch on Netflix.
