Type “kpop demon hunters playlist” into a search bar and you get two very different answers mixed together. Some results are Spotify track lists. Others point to a new Netflix title with the same words in its name. If your kid asked to watch “the PLAYlist” this week, or you saw it pop up on your Netflix home screen, the song lists will not help you at all.
KPop Demon Hunters PLAYlist is a separate Netflix show that arrived on November 2, 2026. This guide covers what it is, how many episodes there are, how long each one runs, and the order that makes the most sense for kids and for older fans. Every runtime below comes from Netflix’s own title page, checked on November 11, 2026.
KPop Demon Hunters PLAYlist is a 13-episode Netflix kids series in three short seasons, about 50 minutes in total. It is not a music playlist. Start with Season 1, then add the new Dance Videos season of KPop Demon Hunters Bonus Content if your family wants to learn the choreography.
KPop Demon Hunters PLAYlist is a Netflix kids show, not a song list
Netflix lists KPop Demon Hunters PLAYlist as a 2026 show with three seasons and files it under Kids. The official description reads: “Play along with your favorite ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ characters in this imaginative series of short-form stories, stop-motion fun and hands-on adventures.” There is no new music album and no new movie inside it, just short episodes built around Rumi, Mira, Zoey, Derpy and the Saja Boys.

All 13 PLAYlist episodes with Netflix runtimes
The Netflix title page for KPop Demon Hunters PLAYlist shows the episode list season by season. Added up, the 13 episodes run 50 minutes 26 seconds. What’s on Netflix, which first reported the release on November 2, 2026, rounds the total to about 49 minutes because it listed two Season 2 episodes at 5 minutes flat.

Each PLAYlist season uses a different format
The three seasons are not one story split into parts. They are three separate formats that happen to share the same characters, so you can start anywhere.
Season 1: HUNTR/X Backstage Pass (6 episodes, 23m 29s)
This is the closest thing to the movie. It is animated, it follows Rumi, Mira and Zoey between shows, and each episode is a small self-contained problem with a demon in it. A child who loved the film will recognize this season straight away, which makes it the best first stop.
Season 2: KPop Toy Creations (3 episodes, 15m 55s)
Season 2 switches to stop-motion with toy versions of the characters. Two of its three episodes replay moments from the film, including the airplane fight and Rumi and Jinu on the rooftop. That means it works best after your kid has seen the movie, because the jokes rely on knowing the original scenes.
Season 3: Play Games With Us (4 episodes, 11m 2s)
The last season mixes doll battles with real fans doing challenges, such as slicing fruit or shaping ramyeon from kinetic sand. These are the shortest episodes, under 3 minutes each. Parents may find a few craft ideas here for a rainy afternoon.
Bonus Content Season 2 adds 9 dance videos on the same day
PLAYlist was not the only drop. Netflix also added a second season called Dance Videos to KPop Demon Hunters Bonus Content, a separate title. The Bonus Content title page lists both seasons, and the new one totals 28 minutes 51 seconds over 9 videos.
- HUNTR/X Dance Rehearsal: “How It’s Done” — 1m 5s, animated rehearsal not shown in the film
- “How It’s Done” Official Choreography — 3m 7s
- “Golden” Official Choreography — 3m 27s
- “Takedown” Official Choreography — 3m 14s
- “Soda Pop” Official Choreography — 2m 46s
- “Your Idol” Official Choreography — 3m 26s
- Inspired by Rumi – The Power of Movement — 3m 59s
- Inspired by Mira – The Power of Movement — 3m 57s
- Inspired by Zoey – The Power of Movement — 3m 50s
What’s on Netflix credits the choreography to Leejung Lee (“How It’s Done”), Nain (“Golden” and “Takedown”) and K-Tigers (“Soda Pop” and “Your Idol”). These are the videos to put on if your kids want to learn the moves, since the PLAYlist dance episodes are cartoons, not tutorials.
Bonus Content Season 1, called Fan Collection, has been on Netflix since March 6, 2026. It holds 4 clips of fan covers, cosplay and singer reactions, just over 9 minutes in all. With PLAYlist’s 13 episodes and the 9 new dance videos, Netflix added 22 episodes and roughly 79 minutes of KPDH extras on November 2. CBR and What’s on Netflix both report the total as 78 minutes.
A watch order that works for kids and for older fans
For a young child who has already seen the movie, go in this order: PLAYlist Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, then the Dance Videos. It moves from familiar animation to toy versions of known scenes and ends with activities they can copy. One season per sitting keeps each session between 11 and 24 minutes.
For a teen or adult fan, skip straight to Bonus Content Season 2. The official choreography videos and the three “Power of Movement” pieces are the parts aimed at people who already know every lyric. PLAYlist is pitched younger, and older fans may find it thin.
If your kid has not seen KPop Demon Hunters yet, watch the movie first. The Season 2 recreations make little sense without it. Our KPop Demon Hunters characters guide is a quick way to learn who Jinu, Derpy and Sussie are before you press play.
Parents can control PLAYlist through Netflix profile settings
Netflix tags PLAYlist as Kids, and its genre rows include Family Time TV and Kids’ TV. Maturity ratings are set country by country, so the badge on your screen depends on where you live. On Netflix’s Korea listing, checked on November 11, 2026, PLAYlist shows a 12+ badge while Bonus Content shows All.
That difference matters for Kids profiles. Netflix’s help page on profile maturity ratings says a profile with a maturity level set only shows titles at or below that level.
If PLAYlist is missing on your child’s profile, check that profile’s maturity rating first. On a web browser, go to Account, then Profiles, then Adjust parental controls. The same screen has Title Restrictions if you would rather block it.
Both titles are marked “Available to download” on Netflix, so you can save episodes to a phone or tablet before a car trip. Netflix’s Korea page lists PLAYlist audio in English, English audio description, Japanese and Korean, with English and Korean subtitles. Language options can differ in other countries.
PLAYlist does not change the sequel timeline
PLAYlist and the dance videos are companion content. Netflix has confirmed KPop Demon Hunters 2, but there is still no official release date, and current reporting points to 2029 at the earliest. Our KPop Demon Hunters 2 release date page tracks what has actually been announced.
For families who want more than streaming, two other options are live this month. The Criterion disc set is covered in our KPop Demon Hunters Blu-ray edition guide, and the immersive experience is covered in Netflix House tickets for KPop Demon Hunters.
