KPop Demon Hunters Set to Release on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD

Netflix’s acclaimed KPop Demon Hunters has achieved a notable milestone with its rare release on Criterion Collection Blu-ray and DVD following its global streaming success.

KPop Demon Hunters is poised to launch its inaugural physical release almost a year following its debut on Netflix.

The acclaimed animated musical is set to be released as part of the esteemed Criterion Collection on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD, signifying the first occasion the film will be broadly accessible beyond streaming platforms.

The release comes after the film’s limited theatrical screenings and a subsequent sing-along cinema version.

Criterion Collection editions are recognized for their restored visuals, enhanced audio, and additional bonus content, though complete details for the release have yet to be confirmed.

The current listing on Amazon indicates a provisional release date of December 31; however, reports suggest that this date may be subject to change as the holiday season approaches.

The writers of the film have previously hinted at deleted scenes, featuring a storyline inspired by South Korea’s “Idol Star Athletics Championships,” where K-pop stars engage in various sporting events and team competitions.

The Criterion Collection has released special editions of films such as Monty Python’s Life of Brian, which include cast commentaries, documentaries, and behind-the-scenes material.

Criterion states that its editions are crafted to showcase films “as their creators intended them to be viewed” through meticulous restorations and exclusive features.

The release holds considerable importance as Netflix productions seldom receive physical home releases, especially through Criterion.

KPop Demon Hunters emerged as one of Netflix’s most successful original titles, securing two Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for Golden.
