Arriving on Netflix this week is new action-fantasy VFX spectacle series Agent from Above, and a fresh batch of images previews the battle between mortal and immortal realms.
Agent from Above debuts its 6-episode series globally on Netlix on April 2, 2026.
The series is an adaptation of the first installment of Taiwanese author Teensy’s popular novel series The Oracle Comes.
It follows “Han Chieh (Kai Ko), a spirit medium bound to serve the Third Crown Prince (Wang Po-chieh) to atone for a childhood mistake by resolving supernatural disturbances in the human world. Along the way, he meets the optimistic college student Yeh Tzu (Buffy Chen) and detective Chang Min (Johnny Yang), who can see spirits.
“Together, they face deadly confrontations with the mysterious and ruthless villain Chen Chi-sha (Chen Yi-wen), while uncovering the truth behind Chen Wu Tien-chi (Hsueh Shih-ling), a being threatening the balance between the human and demon realms — leading Han Chieh to rediscover his purpose and the true meaning of his gift.”
Agent from Above is directed by Kuan Wei-chieh and Lai Chun-yu.
Expect Taiwan’s temple culture to infuse with the contemporary world in this VFX-heavy new show.
Director Kuan told Netflix, “The series showcases extensive VFX and dynamic fight choreography. But beyond the spectacle, there’s attitude and defiance — a visceral energy that pulses through every frame. At the same time, beneath the action lies a deeper question: how do we confront our own sins and the choices we make, and accept the responsibility that comes with them?”
Filming finally wrapped in March 2023, and after nearly three years of post-production, it’s finally ready for its 2026 debut.
