Netflix Reveals First Trailer for Korean Horror Sci-fi Series ‘Parasyte: The Grey’

The show was created by 'Train to Busan' and 'Hellbound' filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho.


Netflix has released the first full trailer for its upcoming Korean series Parasyte: The Grey, from Train to Busan and Hellbound filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho.

In the clip, we see a plague of unidentified parasites take over human hosts and gain power in South Korea. The logline for the series reads: “[Su-in is] a young woman caught between her humanity and parasitic influence. Su-in doesn’t fully belong to either side — neither the parasites seeking to take over human society nor the team dedicated to eradicating parasitic organisms, called “The Grey.”


Produced by Climax Studio and WOW POINT, Parasyte: The Grey is based on Hitoshi Iwaaki’s best-selling manga series, Parasyte, which sold over 25 million copies in over 30 countries. The series stars Jeon So-nee, Koo Kyo-hwan, Lee Jung-hyun, Kwon Hae-ho and Kim In-kwon.


Yeon created, co-wrote and directed Parasyte: The Grey. He achieved global fame with his 2016 zombie feature Train to Busan and its standalone sequel, Peninsula (2020). Yeon’s Netflix supernatural series Hellbound, which debuted its first season in 2021, has also been a huge critical hit. A second season of Hellbound has been confirmed by the streamer.


Parasyte: The Grey debuts on April 5.
