K-Pop Demon Hunters Sequel Set for 2029: Why the Wait Makes Sense

On today’s Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down the newly announced K-Pop Demon Hunters sequel, currently targeted for 2029. We cover why animation timelines are long, why this sequel felt inevitable after massive Netflix success, the unusual jump from Netflix to theaters, and why dates for animated productions often slide rather than move up.
