K-Pop Demon Hunters will Scratch Your Spider-Verse Itch in the Meantime
It's going to be a while before we get Beyond the Spider-Verse , but there looks to be something in the way that very much keeps to the aesthetic and action-direction of that franchise—and there's something in it for K-Pop fans as well.
Check out the first trailer for K-Pop Demon Hunters :
Here's the official description:
When K-pop superstars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey aren't selling out stadiums, they're using their secret identities as demon hunters to protect their fans from ever-present supernatural danger. Together, they must face their biggest threat — an irresistible rival boy band of demons in disguise.
The movie comes from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation, and will also feature an original song performed by Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung of the group TWICE.
While there are a lot of animated properties that try to be very serious when it comes to their story, it does seem like KPDH is embracing the silliness of their premise. Besides the promise of supernatural action, we also have a lot of comedy bits from the two groups—which kinds of harkens to the supplementary K-Pop material where the idols have to do cute-sy game shows and interviews.
So far the movie does look amazing, and maybe this can get some more people into the K-Pop genre if they weren't a fan of it before.
Catch K-Pop Demon Hunters when it comes to Netflix on June 20.

The Last of Us Showrunner Pitches a Breaking Bad Game
Craig Mazin was best known for his work on HBO's Chernobyl before he delivered another hit with The Last of Us series adaptation. It's no mystery that Mazin loves games, but when asked by BAFTA about what existing series he would want to adapt as a game, he says that he thinks Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad would be his pick. Mazin explains: 'It would be Breaking Bad; but I want the game mostly to be about lying to your wife and friends (laughs), so it's not a lot of action. It's mostly just Skyler starting to figure it out, and you just have to keep lying to her and Hank. Mazin continues, ' There's a meter that shows how much meth you've made that day, and also how paranoid you are, and how close other people are to figuring out the truth of who you are. I mean, I would play that game.' If you're taking the pitch seriously, this could probably work as a narrative game like Life is Strange or any of the Telltale titles; but seeing as how action-packed Breaking Bad is, I can imagine something close to GTA where you have to make drugs, distribute drugs, and fight for territory. I mean, the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe is colorful enough to turn into an open-world crime game, but will it ever live up to the series in terms of narrative? That's probably the biggest challenge with that idea. If anything, Netflix can probably just make a reskin of a puzzle game and offer that for subscribers to play. Who knows, maybe someone already came up with the idea back when the series was still coming out. For now, catch Mazin's The Last of Us Season 2 which just ended on HBO Max.

Season 3 for The Last Airbender has Already Started Filming
We haven't even gotten the second season of Netflix's The Last Airbender yet, but it looks like the series is trying to beat out the clock with Gordon Cormier's puberty. Just as they've announced the wrap for Season 2 of Airbender, they also revealed that Season 3 has also started production. Check this out: That's a wrap on Season 2. The time of Sozin's comet draws near. AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER Season 3 is now in production! — Avatar: The Last Airbender (@AvatarNetflix) May 20, 2025 What's more, the series has also revealed several characters that will be arriving in the incoming seasons including Azula's firebending mentors Lo and Li (Dolly De Leon) as well as Sokka's master Piandao (Jon Jon Briones). Check out the cast announcement: Welcome the new faces joining the cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender in Seasons 2 and 3. — Avatar: The Last Airbender (@AvatarNetflix) May 20, 2025 Though fans have an idea of what to expect with each season, the live-action series does tend to mix things up a bit. For one, Jeong Jeong was supposed to be in the first season, but it looks like he's going to be in either Book 1 or 2 of the live-action series. In contrast, the Secret Tunnel of Omashu was supposed to be revealed in the second season, but it was pushed forward for the live-action series—possibly revealing that they won't be bringing back Omashu for Season 2. I'll admit, I wasn't a fan of some of the changes in the first season—specifically with the characterization of a lot of the characters like Aang and Suki, but maybe the show is going to change some of that with future seasons now that they've had more feedback. I never expect these adaptations to be 1:1, but they should at least keep true to core elements of the original—like Aang's free spirit, or Sokka's character development. No release date has been revealed for The Last Airbender Season 2 on Netflix, but hopefully we get something before the year ends.
