LEGO has confirmed an upcoming collaboration with Netflix tied to the animated film KPop Demon Hunters, with the first building set planned for release in 2026 and additional sets expected to follow in 2027. The announcement places the film among a growing number of licensed properties that LEGO is extending beyond a single release window, suggesting longer-term plans rather than a one-off promotional tie-in.
Released in June 2025, KPop Demon Hunters blends music-driven fantasy with a modern idol narrative, centering on a trio of performers who protect the world from supernatural threats through song. The film quickly became one of Netflix’s strongest animated releases, and its soundtrack achieved rare crossover success beyond the platform. That reception has helped position the property as a candidate for expansion into merchandise, games, and now physical construction sets.
LEGO has confirmed that the first KPop Demon Hunters set will be available for pre-order in the spring, ahead of a summer release. While no pricing or piece count has been disclosed, the set is already listed among LEGO’s planned themes for 2026. Additional sets are scheduled for later that year, with further releases projected into 2027. Beyond basic timing, LEGO has shared very little about what builders can expect, opting instead for a minimal teaser campaign.
The only visual hint so far comes from a short video posted to LEGO’s official social channels. The clip shows a blue, three-toed leg nudging over a pot of LEGO flowers, accompanied by a simple “coming 2026” caption. Fans of the film quickly identified the limb as belonging to Derpy, the blue tiger-like creature that plays a supporting role in the story. While the teaser confirms Derpy’s involvement in some form, it stops well short of revealing whether the character will appear as a minifigure, a larger display model, or part of a playset.
Details about the 2027 lineup remain unannounced, leaving room for speculation within the fan community. Some expect future sets to introduce full minifigure versions of the main characters, while others believe LEGO may opt for minidoll-style figures similar to those used in LEGO Friends or certain Disney-themed lines. There is also discussion around whether Derpy could receive a standalone build, separate from character-focused sets.
For now, LEGO appears to be taking a measured approach, confirming the partnership without overcommitting to specifics. The collaboration adds to an already crowded release slate for 2026, which includes expansions in other licensed themes and experimental product lines. Whether KPop Demon Hunters becomes a long-running LEGO theme or a limited series will likely depend on how the initial sets are received once they reach shelves.
