“KPOP Demon Hunters” Officially Arrives on Bookshelves From Penguin Random House
If you’ve been living for “KPop Demon Hunters”, get ready to expand your collection — the world of HUNTR/X is coming off the screen and into your hands. As of December 2025, the beloved film’s universe is launching in print via Penguin Random House (PRH), bringing fans a full slate of books that celebrate their favorite demon–hunters, pop stars, and everything in between.
A Publishing Program Worth Stanning
Earlier this month, Penguin Random House announced a sweeping publishing program in partnership with Netflix, joining its divisions — Random House Children’s Books, Random House Worlds, and Penguin Young Readers — to release fan‑forward titles inspired by the film.
Their mission: translate the film’s vibrant blend of K‑pop culture, supernatural adventure, and heartfelt storytelling into book form — from poster books to novelizations, activity books, and more. Chris Angelilli, SVP and editor‑in‑chief for licensed publishing at PRH, summed up the ambition plainly in an article with Publishers Weekly: “This universe is already rich with music, style, humor, and heart.”
First Titles Hit Shelves — Starting December 30, 2025
The first wave of PRH’s KPDH books debuts on December 30, 2025. Key titles include:
- “For the Fans! (KPop Demon Hunters)” – According to PRH, this is a Little Golden Book that introduces readers to the world of HUNTR/X by day and demon-hunters by night.
- “KPop Demon Hunters: The Official Poster Book” – an 80‑page, full‑color poster collection featuring more than 35 images of the film’s iconic characters and moments.
These are just the beginning — and they’re perfect for decorating walls, gifting to fans, or simply enjoying as part of your collection.
What’s Next — More Books Arriving Spring 2026
Looking ahead to March 31, 2026, Penguin Random House plans to expand the universe with four more major releases:
- “KPop Demon Hunters: The Deluxe Junior Novelization” — a 144‑page hardcover novelization by Jessica Yoon, complete with 16 pages of full‑color images.
- “KPop Demon Hunters: The Movie in Comics” — a 208‑page graphic novel retelling of the film, with full-color scenes and dialogue straight from the movie.
- “KPop Demon Hunters: My Golden Journal” — a 128‑page guided journal designed for fans to write song lyrics, design costumes, plan tours, and get creative with their own K‑pop dreams.
- “KPop Demon Hunters: Official Activity Book” — a fun 48‑page paperback packed with puzzles, games, coloring pages, and 50+ stickers — ideal for younger fans or longtime stans who just want to play in the world.
Beyond these, PRH has hinted at even more: a sophisticated coloring book for older fans, and even a full manhwa adaptation of the film slated for 2027.
