Netflix is planning a “KPop Demon Hunters” world tour as it looks to capitalize on its most popular film, Reuters said on Wednesday.
“KPop Demon Hunters” won the Oscar for best animated film on Sunday, breaking a record after becoming Netflix’s most-watched film ever upon its debut in 2025. The film’s song, “Golden,” won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Netflix is negotiating with concert promoters to organize a live show featuring performances of the film’s songs, the source said.
Bloomberg News first reported the talks earlier on Wednesday.
According to the Bloomberg report, the sides have discussed a tour that will visit dozens of major cities, with shows in arenas with a capacity of 10,000 to 20,000.
The goal is to perform around the world next year, ahead of the animated film sequel.
Netflix has yet to choose a promoter, but has already received tens of millions of dollars in upfront guarantees, the report said. A Netflix spokeswoman declined to comment.
The original musical film, animated by Sony Pictures Animation, follows K-pop girl trio Huntrix – Rumi, Mira and Zoey – as they balance their superstardom with secret lives as demon hunters.
Lead vocalists EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami took the film’s breakthrough song “Golden” to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. – Reuters
