KPop Demon Hunters Delivers A Netflix First While Repeating At No. 1 On English Films Chart

KPop Demon Hunters continues to slay.

For the week of July 14, the animated musical fantasy film held onto the No. 1 spot on Netflix's English films ranking, while pulling off a first for the streamer.

What was the milestone? KPop Demon Hunters amassed 25.8 million views — up 1.6 million, to its biggest week of viewing — in its fifth week of release, something no other film on Netflix has ever done.

Tyler Perry's Madea's Vacation Wedding placed a distant second on Netflix's English films chart with 19.1 million views, followed by The Old Guard 2 (16 million).

In KPop Demon Hunters, "When they aren't selling out stadiums, Kpop superstars Rumi, Mira and Zoey use their secret identities as badass demon hunters to protect their fans from an ever-present supernatural threat," the official synopsis reads. "Together, they must face their biggest enemy yet – an irresistible rival boy band of demons in disguise."

The voice cast includes Arden Cho (Teen Wolf, Chicago Med) as Rumi, the lead vocalist of HUNTR/X; May Hong (Tales of the City) as Mira, HUNTR/X's lead dancer; Ji-young Yoo (Expats) as Zoey, the main rapper and maknae of HUNTR/X; Ahn Hyo-seop (Lovers of the Red Sky) as Jinu, the demon leader of the Saja Boys; Yunjin Kim (Lost) as Celine, Rumi's foster mother (and a former demon hunter); Joel Kim Booster (Loot) as Romance Saja; Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) as the eccentric Healer Han; and Ken Jeong (all the Fox things) as Bobby, HUNTR/X's manager.
