Big entertainment news rolled in and I’m buzzing: Netflix has officially confirmed a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters — which the streamer says is its most-watched film to date. Even better, this comes as Netflix inks a multi-year animation deal with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, so the sequel looks set to keep the same creative team behind it.
On the awards front, Irish actress Jessie Buckley is getting serious attention for her role in Hamnet and is being talked about as Ireland’s top hope for a Best Actress Oscar. The story highlights how Ireland’s film scene and talent pool are making waves internationally.
And for Peaky Blinders fans: Cillian Murphy is coming back as Thomas Shelby in a new film titled The Immortal Man. The movie reportedly pushes into wartime territory and Nazi-related conspiracies — sounds intense and cinematic, exactly the kind of dark, atmospheric ride the franchise is known for.
Quick fan facts:
- KPop Demon Hunters is an animated title and has become Netflix’s most-watched film on the platform.
- Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans are the directing duo now signed to a multi-year animation deal with Netflix.
- Jessie Buckley’s acclaimed performance in Hamnet is driving her awards-season momentum.
- Peaky Blinders ran as a hit TV series (2013–2022), and Thomas Shelby is one of Cillian Murphy’s most iconic roles.
All in all, it’s a wild mix of K-pop-flavored animation success, awards-season excitement for Irish cinema, and franchise-level drama for Peaky fans. Can’t wait to see how the Demon Hunters sequel shapes up and to catch Murphy back in Shelby mode on the big screen.
