Netflix has released a brand new trailer for their upcoming South Korean horror series titled Kingdom which centers around the rise of zombies in Korea’s medieval Joseon period.
The video features new terrifying scenes highlighting the zombies’ rampage and offers a glimpse of the hard core fear of the series.
In a kingdom defeated by corruption and famine, a mysterious plague spreads to turn the infected into monsters. The crown prince, framed for treason and desperate to save his people, sets out on a journey to unveil what evil lurks in the dark.
The six-episode series will star Ju Ji-Hoon (Along with the Gods, Dark Figure of Crime) as the Crown Prince, Bae Doona (Sense8, Cloud Atlas) as Seo-bi, Ryu Seung-Ryong (Miracle at Cell No. 7) as Jo Hak-Jo, Kim Sangho (The Beauty Inside, The Happy Life), Heo Joon-Ho (Jumong), and Jeon Seok-Ho (The Good Wife).
Kingdom is directed by Kim Seung-Hun from a screenplay written by Kim Eun-Hee which was based on her webcomic series Land of the Gods. All episodes of season one will be available for streaming on January 25 on Netflix. The second season of the series is scheduled to begin its production in February 2019.
