The world of K-Pop Demon Hunters is getting even bigger. Penguin Random House has officially announced a new publishing program based on the animated film, bringing the story beyond the screen and into books for fans to enjoy. This move shows how popular the title has become, especially among younger audiences who love animation, music, and character-driven stories.
According to the announcement, the publishing program will include different formats such as novels and illustrated books, designed to explore the characters and universe in more detail. Fans will be able to learn more about the demon-hunting girl group, their backstories, and the world they live in, something that is hard to fully show in a movie alone. This also makes the franchise more accessible to readers who enjoy storytelling through books instead of films.
Penguin Random House choose to invest in K-Pop Demon Hunters shows strong confidence in the franchise’s long-term potential. Animation projects today are no longer just one-time releases. They are becoming full ecosystems with music, performances, merchandise, and now publishing. This kind of expansion helps keep the fandom active even when there is no new movie on screen.
For fans, this publishing program feels like a natural next step. It allows them to stay connected to the characters and story while waiting for future projects. For the industry, it is another example of how animation, music, and publishing can work together to build a modern entertainment brand that lives across many platforms. (publishersweekly)
