KPop Demon Hunters, the animated action movie that Netflix casually dropped in June, is 2025’s biggest phenomenon. Sony, seemingly with little faith, sold the movie to Netflix early in development, and like every Netflix Original not based on an preexisting IP, it arrived with little fanfare. Quality won out: KPDH became Netflix’s biggest movie of all time, and the hype will continue through to what feels like an inevitable animation and song win at the 2026 Oscars. But first: complete Halloween domination.
