Netflix has shared a trailer, poster and images for Parasyte: The Grey, the South Korean sci-fi horror series based on Hitoshi Iwaaki’s comic Parasyte from director Yeon Sang-ho (Hellbound, Train to Busan).
The series sees humanity forced to work together to combat the unidentified parasites that are gaining power as they violently take over human hosts. Watch the trailer below…
“In Parasyte: The Grey, Su-in, a young woman caught between her humanity and parasitic influence, embodies this recurring theme of coexistence. As Heidi, the parasite that latched onto Su-in in the aftermath of a near-fatal accident, says, “We would both be dead if we weren’t together. You and I have no choice but to coexist.”
“But as a mutant that’s half-parasite and half-human, 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,” led by the determined Jun-kyung (Lee Jung-hyun). And it’s this tension that plunges viewers into the heart of the conflict.”
The cast includes Jeon So-nee, Koo Kyo-hwan, Lee Jung-hyun, Kwon Hae-ho, and Kim In-kwon.
Parasyte: The Grey arrives on Netflix on April 5th.
