KPop Demon Hunters is getting a sequel, but it surely feels like that’s years away. Nonetheless, Netflix and Sony’s collaboration with McDonald’s has given us a lot new animated content material of Huntr/x and the Saja Boys that it virtually appears like a miniseries in and of itself.
The “Battle for the Followers” occasion begins in the present day, March 31, with McDonald’s providing two meals: a Saja Boys-branded breakfast and a Huntr/x hen nugget meal. Every comes with a photocard from their respective teams, and all of it performs right into a form of narrative occasion pitting the 2 teams towards one another, like within the movie. If you happen to don’t like quick meals however love KPop Demon Hunters, you in all probability need to try the adverts which have come out of this collaboration between McDonald’s, Sony, and Netflix, which function Huntr/x and the Saja Boys voiced by the unique voice actors.
A lot of KPop Demon Hunters revolves round Huntr/x battling the Saja Boys for the hearts and minds of their followers, with the boy band’s demonic affect spreading as their music grows extra well-liked. So in a manner, the concept of the 2 each signing a cope with McDonald’s on the identical time suits fairly snugly into the story, because it might moderately occur. I’m selecting to imagine it’s canon.
All of that is apparently culminating in one of many teams being deemed the victor of the Battle for the Followers in April, which is able to apparently be introduced with a particular reveal you may entry with a QR code you’ll get if you order the KPop Demon Hunters meals. It’s not a full-blown sequel or the long-rumored quick movie, however the animated adverts aren’t reusing scenes or dialogue from the movie, and it’s good to see and listen to Huntr/x once more.
Whereas KPop Demon Hunters 2 remains to be years away, it feels like Netflix is engaged on occasions that may hold the fandom occupied within the meantime, together with a potential live performance tour. It’s unclear at this level, nonetheless, simply what the present may appear to be or if it’s going to ever see the sunshine of day.
