An animation studio that has already proven itself with the popular Spiderverse films is now bringing a new project to Netflix – and is not shy about implementing absurd ideas that fans are already loving.
Which film is being talked about? It is the animated film “K-Pop Demon Hunters” from Sony Pictures Animation, which will be released on Netflix on June 20, 2025. Finally, the first trailer has been released, showcasing an animation style that draws parallels to the studio’s other projects like the Spiderverse films or “The Mitchells vs. The Machines.”
Moreover, the trailer shows what the film aims to shine with besides animation: a mix of action, comedy, and the willingness to perhaps be a little absurd. This seems to resonate with fans even before the actual release of the film.

K-Pop idols balance their careers with fighting their demonic adversaries
What is the film about? The main characters in K-Pop Demon Hunters are, surprise, K-Pop idols. Rumi, Mira, and Zoeys are successful K-Pop superstars, and their fans regularly fill huge sold-out stadiums. However, they must confront a new, supernatural threat – a rather irresistible rival boy band that is actually made up of veiled demons.
Now it is up to the three of them to protect their fans from the “Saja Boys.” Because they not only want to win them over but also steal their souls. The world may see them as pop stars, but now they have to become hunters. And they are ready to protect their fans from the demons.
What has been the reaction to the trailer so far? Under the newly released trailer on YouTube, the anticipation for the animated film is evident:
- “I just found out 5 minutes ago that this movie exists, and it has immediately become my most anticipated upcoming animated project. Thank you Sony and Netflix!!!”, writes jellydonuts2343
- “Sony Pictures Animation is the only mainstream animation studio that would have the guts to pull something like this off, and for that, they have my eternal respect,” writes cleverusername1997
- “The fact that they also managed to animate the characters with anime expressions like drooling and exaggerated faces makes the movie an absolute must-watch for me,” says blue-flare7060
- “I want to thank Spiderverse in every way for completely changing the animation landscape and making films like this possible,” comments thevindicator1220
For those who have become curious due to the trailer, unfortunately, they have to wait until June 20 to see K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix.
