KPop Demon Hunters Floats to Take Center Stage at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
As Thanksgiving approaches, the selection of giant inflatables for the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been revealed. Enthusiasts of the animated hit KPop Demon Hunters have something exciting to look forward to, as fan-favorite mascots Derpy Tiger and Sussie are scheduled to make an appearance as spectacular floats.
The parade takes place each year in the heart of New York, featuring an impressive variety of balloons from various pop-culture franchises. Previous appearances have included characters ranging from SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo to anime favorites like Dragon Ball and One Piece.
Meet the Mascots: Sussie and Derpy Tiger
These two adorable animal mascots are featured in the hit animated show KPop Demon Hunters. In the story, the group Huntr/x is a popular musical act by day and a squad of supernatural hunters by night, harnessing their musical power to repair the Honmoon and protect the human world from demonic threats. Much like Huntr/x and the Saja Boys, Derpy and Sussie have gained a massive following of viewers everywhere and are expected to be a memorable highlight for audiences of all ages during the parade.
A Stellar Year for KPop Demon Hunters
One could easily claim that 2025 has been the year of KPop Demon Hunters. The Sony Animation production has risen to number one as the most-watched film on Netflix, received five nominations at the Grammys, and the singing stars behind Huntr/x—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey's voice actors—recently performed on a popular television program, presenting a breathtaking Honmoon-worthy act.
Making things even better, the talented trio are set to perform live during the Thanksgiving Day festivities. Viewers can look forward to a potentially "Golden" performance from the group.
Future Plans for the Franchise?
A new feature film, KPop Demon Hunters 2, is reportedly in development, with a expected debut in 2029. While it's a long wait, the widespread love for the first movie indicates that audiences are eager for a sequel that lives up to the first installment. For now, fans can enjoy the amazing Derpy and Sussie balloons at the upcoming Thanksgiving parade.
