**KPop Demon Hunters** is finally getting a physical release.



Almost a year after it first debuted on Netflix, the [hit animated musical](https://www.billboard.com/lists/kpop-demon-hunters-historic-chart-moments-records-awards/) is set for a Criterion Collection release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD. This marks the first time the film has been available for viewing outside of streaming, save for a brief theatrical run last summer and a second run of a [&ldquo;sing-along&rdquo; version](https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/kpop-demon-hunters-sing-along-movie-tickets-buy-online-1236090962/) last fall.

	Amazon is showing a release date of Dec. 31 for the *KPop Demon Hunters* Criterion Collection disc, though it may just be a placeholder (the cover art seen at right is also not finalized). The release date has moved a few times according to the Amazon listing, and it’s likely Sony Pictures will want to have the Blu-ray and DVD out before the holidays for [gifting season](https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/best-easy-christmas-gifts-2025-1235848884/).		
	



Not much is known about the upcoming physical release, though Criterion Collection editions usually include bonus content and some sort of upscaled audio and visual presentation. To wit: the Amazon listing includes a [4K version of the film on Blu-ray](https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/pmc_0aaa4_billboard?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FKPop-Demon-Hunters-Criterion-Collection%2Fdp%2FB0GSBP8QJ3%3FlinkCode%3Dll2%26tag%3Dbillboard0ad-20%26linkId%3D4003f3f960a33109b6b6686a991677b5%26language%3Den_US%26ref_%3Das_li_ss_tl%26asc_source%3Dweb%26asc_campaign%3Dweb%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.billboard.com%252Fculture%252Fproduct-recommendations%252Fkpop-demon-hunters-film-blu-ray-dvd-4k-physical-release-buy-1236255905%252F&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Fculture%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fkpop-demon-hunters-film-blu-ray-dvd-4k-physical-release-buy-1236255905%2F&ref=pmcTrackonomicsReferrer&event_type=click). And the writers of the film have teased a [number of deleted scenes](https://www.goldderby.com/film/2026/kpop-demon-hunters-writers-deleted-scenes-missing-jokes-harry-potter/), including a sub-plot modeled on the “Idol Star Athletics Championships,” a competition event in Korea that features K-pop idols competing in sports and team challenges.
