Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho brings Hellbound series to Netflix

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Earlier this month, Well Go USA released a trailer for director Yeon Sang-ho's new film PENINSULA, which they're releasing under the title TRAIN TO BUSAN PRESENTS: PENINSULA because the film is set during the same zombie apocalypse Yeon brought to the screen in his hit film TRAIN TO BUSAN and its animated prequel SEOUL STATION. While we wait to hear when Well Go USA will be releasing TRAIN TO BUSAN PRESENTS: PENINSULA in the United States, Yeon has already closed a deal to make his next genre project.

Yeon will be directing a series called Hellbound for the Netflix streaming service, working from a script he's writing with Choi Gyu-seok.

Based on a webtoon (or digital comic) called Hell, the series 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.

The show is being produced by Lezhin Studio, a company that specializes in making content based on webtoons. 

Yeon previously worked with Netflix on the superhero film PSYCHOKINESIS.

I haven't read the Hell webtoon, but I'm interested in seeing anything the director of TRAIN TO BUSAN does. That movie was awesome.
