Over a year since its release, the animated phenomenon ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ continues to captivate audiences on Netflix. The streamer’s latest ‘What We Watched’ report, which examines viewership in film and television from January-June 2026, reveals that the film has maintained its position as the fourth most-viewed film on the platform, with an impressive 130.4 million views.

This milestone marks the third consecutive time ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ has featured in the top four most-viewed films on Netflix. The film’s enduring popularity can be attributed to its unique blend of K-pop and supernatural demon-hunting themes, which have resonated with audiences worldwide.

Interestingly, when comparing the current viewership figures to the previous report for July-December 2025, it’s evident that ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ has experienced a significant decline in viewership. In the previous report, the film secured the top spot with an impressive 481.6 million views, ranking first place in the most-viewed films on Netflix. The film’s initial release in January 2025, however, resulted in a relatively modest 36.7 million views in its first 10 days, indicating a gradual increase in popularity over time.

The film’s continued success can be attributed to its critical acclaim, with the film winning two Oscars and two Golden Globes earlier this year for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, respectively. Additionally, ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ took home all 10 categories in which it was nominated at the 53rd Annie Awards, solidifying its position as one of the most culturally significant animated films in recent memory.

With a total of 648.7 million views, ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ remains the most popular film on Netflix, and its enduring popularity serves as a testament to the film’s unique blend of genres and its ability to resonate with audiences worldwide.
