After dropping an official teaser for Parasyte: The Grey earlier in the month, Netflix now reveals the official full-length trailer for the upcoming South Korean sci-fi thriller.
A contemporary take on Hitoshi Iwaaki’s popular Parasyte manga, the series sets the scene in South Korea and will star a new set of characters and adventures. Directing this fresh adaption is Yeon Sang-ho, a veteran with an eye for crafting post-apocalyptic zombie thrillers such as Hellbound and Train to Busan.
In an official press release from Netflix, director Yeon cited that the original manga has influenced his filmography as a whole. Iwaaki, the manga’s creator also apologized for how the production staff has “greatly respected the original work.” “I could see unique creative branches and ideas throughout the series and enjoyed it as both the original author and as a true ‘audience member’. Each episode’s plot development is dynamic with a quick tempo that makes it very entertaining,” he adds.
Parasyte: The Grey is set to release exclusively on Netflix on April 4. In the meantime, catch a nail-biting glimpse into its world via the trailer above.
