As Thanksgiving approaches, the selection of giant inflatables for the 99th annual Thanksgiving parade in New York City has been unveiled. Fans of the animated hit KPop Demon Hunters have something exciting to look forward to, as fan-favorite mascots Sussie and Derpy Tiger are scheduled to make an appearance as spectacular floats.

This famous event is held annually in New York City, showcasing an impressive variety of inflatable figures from various pop-culture franchises. Previous appearances have included everything from SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo to popular anime series like Dragon Ball and One Piece.

Meet the Mascots: Sussie and Derpy Tiger

Derpy Tiger and Sussie are featured in the hit animated show KPop Demon Hunters. Within the series' plot, 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 shield humanity from invading demons. Much like Huntr/x and the Saja Boys, these mascots have gained a massive following of viewers everywhere and are expected to be a standout attraction 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 soared to the top as the most-watched film on Netflix, received 5 Grammy nominations, and the singing stars behind Huntr/x—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey's voice actors—recently performed on a popular television program, presenting a stunning Honmoon-worthy act.

Adding to the excitement, the talented trio are also scheduled to make an appearance during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Audiences can look forward to a show-stopping musical number from the group.

What's Next for the Franchise?

An upcoming sequel, 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 follow-up worthy of the first installment.
