KPop Demon Hunters Teams Up with McDonald’s For a New Meal Deal

Following the recent announcement of a sequel to Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters and its success at the Oscars, the franchise is seeing a surge in partnerships. These collaborations feel long-awaited, as Netflix didn’t anticipate how quickly the series would become popular. With plans for Huntr/x to appear in several video games and new dolls from Mattel slated for Fall 2026, KPop Demon Hunters is continuing to grow its range of merchandise for fans.

Netflix announced that characters from its show KPop Demon Hunters will be part of a McDonald’s meal deal. This partnership highlights the show’s growing popularity and represents a new trend in how Netflix and other brands work with fast-food restaurants. Instead of just offering toys and merchandise, they’re now creating special meals to promote their content.

The Rumored Huntr/x and McDonald’s Collab Shows an Evolution in Fast-Food Advertising

For decades, fast-food restaurants have partnered with celebrities and popular franchises, often offering toys with kids’ meals. Sometimes, they’ve also created special items for adults. Lately, though, fast food chains are increasingly focusing on meals and menu items designed to appeal to fans of all ages. The upcoming collaboration with Huntr/x will probably include toys for kids, but it also highlights the broad appeal of KPop Demon Hunters to a wider audience.

The possible Huntr/x meal promotion follows a pattern of similar campaigns Netflix has run with fast-food chains. In the past, Burger King created a meal inspired by The Addams Family for Halloween 2024. More recently, the Wednesday series used fast-food advertising for its second season with the “Wednesday Meal of Misfortune.” Netflix also teamed up with McDonald’s to launch a *Stranger Thingsthemed menu before the show’s final episodes aired in December 2025.

The Huntr/x and Saja Boys McDonald’s Meals Combine Classic Menu Items and New Offerings

McDonald’s is creating special meals for fans of the KPop group featured in the film ‘KPop Demon Hunters.’ These meals, designed like Happy Meals but for adults, include a breakfast option inspired by the Saja Boys. The highlight is a Spicy Saja McMuffin with a unique Spicy Saja Sauce, served with hash browns and a drink – a nod to the group’s popular song in the movie.

The Huntr/x meal at McDonald’s features the popular 10-piece chicken nuggets alongside two new dipping sauces: a sweet chili Hunter sauce and a purple Demon sauce (a mustard-based sauce). It also includes Rameyon McShaker Fries, inspired by a key scene in the film KPop Demon Hunters where the characters Zoey and Mira try to enjoy noodles during a battle. This meal ties the promotion directly to the movie and emphasizes Huntr/x’s popularity within the film’s universe, where they are known for numerous brand deals. McDonald’s and Netflix are framing the collaboration as a ‘battle of the bands’ between Huntr/x and the Saja Boys, letting fans show their support by choosing their preferred meal. Ultimately, Netflix is expected to benefit most, continuing to leverage the success of KPop Demon Hunters and keep the film relevant while fans anticipate a sequel.
