In addition to backing the Korean zombie series “All of Us Are Dead”, Netflix is heading “Hellbound” with Yeon Sang-ho, the Korean director behind Train to Busan and its forthcoming sequel Peninsula, reports ScreenDaily.
“Hellbound” will tell a story of surviving under social chaos, when a group of supernatural beings appear and condemn people to hell. A new religious group interprets them as the will of the divine.
“What unfolds through this predicament is an intense and highly-charged story about people who must survive under conditions of utter social chaos,” explains the press release.
The new Netflix original series is based on the Korean webtoon “Hell”.
Yeon will collaborate on the script with illustrator Choi Gyu-seok, whose previous work includes webtoon “Songgot”, which was adapted as a television drama in 2015.
The series will be produced by Korea’s Lezhin Studio.
