Overview
- Netflix and McDonald’s hosted an 18+ “Battle for the Fans: After Dark” at The Bellwether in Los Angeles on Thursday, where live voting crowned HUNTR/X over the Saja Boys.
- The limited run spans U.S. restaurants with two themed options, including a HUNTR/X meal of Chicken McNuggets, Ramyeon McShaker Fries, and Hunter and purple Demon sauces, plus a Saja Boys Breakfast with a Spicy Saja McMuffin, hash browns, and a drink.
- Each meal packs collectible photocards and a Derpy access card that fans scan in the McDonald’s app to unlock first-access bonus content.
- A new animated short made for the collaboration drops Rumi, Mira, and Zoey into a playful crossover with McDonald’s, giving fans fresh story beats while they wait for the sequel.
- Netflix calls the partnership “fan-first,” pointing to bespoke animation and collectibles to sustain engagement after two Oscars and record viewership, with a sequel confirmed and projected for 2029.
