A family-friendly cartoon feature named DEBUT: The Hunters' Beginning received its official rating by the MPA. Its distributor, a major animation house, was also listed. The PG label indicates some action/violence as well as supernatural elements.
Fans who have seen KPop Demon Hunters can expect more demon-slaying action through this story.
Although the release date remains unannounced, its name implies an origin story following Rumi, Zoey, and Mira joining both the idol scene and the demon-hunting lifestyle tasked with protecting humanity rebuilding a spiritual shield.
Even though rumors pointed toward a full sequel, this release serves as a tasty preview for what’s to come. Considering the continued success of the songs, it would be no surprise a fresh musical number to feature in the short film.
