Netflix unveiled its annual roster of Korean films and series on Monday, setting the stage for another robust year of K-content in 2024, featuring the return of some of the streaming platform’s most beloved global shows.
Leading the pack is the eagerly anticipated second season of Netflix’s flagship international series, Squid Game, though an official release date is yet to be confirmed. Additionally, viewers can expect second seasons for reality survival series Physical 100, fantasy series Hellbound, reality show Zombieverse, and mystery drama Gyeongseong Creature.
Among the new offerings, the period drama Uprising stands out, co-written and co-produced by renowned Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook (known for works such as Oldboy and Decision to Leave). Furthermore, a slew of series adaptations of popular webtoons, including A Killer Paradox, The 8 Show, and Parasyte: The Grey, are in the pipeline.
Netflix is set to introduce intriguing Korean reality shows this year, aiming to spark discussions among viewers. The Influencer will pit influencers against each other in a quest for clout and followers, while Agents of Mystery will follow six agents as they endeavour to solve crimes.
The streaming giant’s 2024 lineup also includes a variety of original films, such as the already released Badland Hunters, a sequel to Concrete Utopia, the action-packed Officer Black Belt, the dramatic My Name is Loh Kiwan, and the epic disaster film The Great Flood.
Don Kang, Netflix’s Vice President of Content for Korea, expressed excitement about the diverse array of titles in this year’s K-Content lineup, stating, “Whether it’s series, films, or innovative unscripted shows, we’ll share unforgettable experiences with entertainment fans worldwide and unmissable titles that you can enjoy only on Netflix.”
