7 TV Shows and Movies Like KPop Demon Hunters to Watch While You Wait for a Sequel

Chances are that if you're a conscious person on the internet in the year 2025, you've heard of the hit animated movie Kpop Demon Hunters on Netflix. It's more than likely if you are reading this that you've watched it anywhere between two and a hundred times and the soundtrack will be making a major appearance on your Spotify Wrapped (or music streaming service of your choice wrap-up) at the end of the year. It can't be helped. The animated movie is so good and visually stunning, and the songs are laced with some addictive material that has yet to be identified. 

Have you reached the point where watching HUNTR/X hunt down demons doesn't fill you with the same elation as it did when you first watched? Is your voice begging you to stop trying to reach those high notes in "Golden"? Do you simply need more of those immaculate Kpop Demon Hunters vibes? Given the movie's success — as of this writing, it's Netflix's most-watched original animated movie ever — it's inevitable that there will be a sequel or a spin-off. But what do we do until then? 

TV Guide has you covered. We've compiled seven shows and movies for you to check out to help manage your KPDH addiction… and possibly send you even further down a K-pop and K-culture rabbit hole. Don't worry; you'll love it here! 

Wish Dragon

Before co-directing KPDH, Chris Appelhans wrote and directed Wish Dragon, a Netflix family film about a Chinese college student who encounters a wish-granting dragon from his childhood that he hopes can reconnect him with his best friend who moved away a decade earlier. You can already see from the picture above that Wish Dragon shares a lot of the same visual language as KPDH. It boasts a killer voice cast including Jimmy Wong, John Cho, and Constance Wu. It also matches KPDH thematically, as it encourages everyone to not take their life for granted and be open to magical possibilities. 

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

If the demon-slaying lore is what drew you into KPDH, then you should head over to Crunchyroll or Hulu and check out the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. It follows Tanjiro, a young man who learns to become a demon slayer after his family is massacred by one. Learning to kill demons is the only way Tanjiro can potentially save his sister, who was turned into a demon during the attack. There are currently seven seasons of the anime, which will give you all the action you want after watching HUNTR/X defeat their enemies.

Nimona 

Sticking with incredible animation, KPDH fans will also enjoy Nimona, another banger from Netflix. Nimona did not get the flowers it deserved when it came out in 2023, but it's a great follow-up to KPDH. Ballister (Riz Ahmed) is a knight in a futuristic medieval world who is framed for a crime he didn't commit. He goes on the run, where he meets Nimona (Chloë Grace Moretz), a mischievous teen who is Ballister's only hope of clearing his name. The only issue is that Nimona is also a shapeshifting monster that Ballister was trained to kill. Ultimately, it's a story about demonizing things we don't know or understand, which is something Rumi from KPDH can relate to a lot. 

In the Soop 

Did KPDH make you curious about the inner lives of actual K-pop stars? The HUNTR/X girls came so close to living their dream of vegging on the couch, but we never got to see them do it for an extended period of time. To be fair, most K-pop idols struggle to find the downtime the girls were constantly looking forward to, but sometimes they manage it, and their company sends cameras to film it. K-pop conglomerate HYBE created the show In the Soop, which takes you on a wilderness vacation with the members of BTS. You get to see the biggest K-pop band in the world just… hang out for three days. They make meals together. They sing karaoke and play games. They talk about their dreams and fears of the future. There's no makeup or choreography (at least not rehearsed), just them being themselves and taking time to unwind. There are two seasons of In the Soop featuring BTS and two seasons following their company-mates, Seventeen, streaming on the Korean content service KOCOWA (all of which come with subtitles). Meanwhile, Disney+ has In the Soop: Friendcation, which follows V of BTS to the remote glamping grounds with his group of actor friends known as the Wooga squad. 

Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE

If you are more interested in how K-pop bands are formed and what it takes to become an idol, you should check out Pop Star Academy on Netflix, which showcases how the girl group Katseye was formed. You'll watch aspiring starlets audition for the company and go through vocal, dance, and performance boot camps. Becoming a K-pop idol is not for the weak of heart, but you'll see why the genre has attracted so many die-hard fans when you fall in love with these girls on their journey to pop stardom. 

Business Proposal

Perhaps you want more Jinu content. That is so valid. Korean actor Ahn Hyo-seop voices Jinu, the leader of the demon boy group Saja Boys in KPDH. He's also the romantic lead of the popular K-drama Business Proposal, and it may stun you how much Hyo-seop and his animated counterpart have in common, especially when it comes to being jaw-droppingly beautiful. Hyo-seop has an entire filmography for you to hyperfixate on, but start with Business Proposal because his character, Tae-moo, is seemingly cold but secretly funny and charming around the right people, just like Jinu. The animated effects in Business Proposal also bring it a little closer to KPDH, so it's a great bridge into live-action K-dramas. 

Teen Wolf (Season 3B)

On a similar note, if you're looking for more Arden Cho, the voice of Rumi, then let me direct you over to the MTV drama Teen Wolf. Cho joined the cast in 2014 for Season 3B, which is widely regarded as the best set of episodes in the Teen Wolf saga. She plays Kira Yukimura, a new student at Beacon Hills High who discovers that she's a Kitsune — a fierce warrior with the spirit of a fire fox inside of her. She teams up with Scott (Tyler Posey) and his friends to defeat a dangerous demon called the Nogitsune. Kira's arc in this season of Teen Wolf feels like watching Rumi sing "What It Sounds Like" in the climactic fight of KPDH. You will definitely have a good time with this one.
