After becoming a huge streaming success on Netflix, K-Pop Demon Hunters was released in theaters a few times in a limited way. The release strategy for its sequel, however, will be different.

During the Bloomberg Screentime event last Wednesday night (30) in Los Angeles (USA), Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos confirmed plans for the premiere of the sequel: "When the K-Pop Demon Hunters sequel arrives, you can expect a large-scale theatrical release," he said (via The Wrap).

Netflix is venturing more and more into cinematic releases. This year, the streaming service is bringing to the big screen The New Adventures of Cliff Booth (including in IMAX) , a sequel to Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood, and La Bola Negra, its main contender for the 2027 Oscars.
