Netflix dropped the release date of Parasyte: The Grey. The highly anticipated series is freshly adapted from Hitoshi Iwaaki’s legendary manga series of the same name.
Netflix unveiled the motion poster along with the release date and names of the lead cast members. The storyline is set against the backdrop of new locations and with new characters, but the main motto of the manga remains intact in the drama.
Directed by Yeon Sang-Ho (known for Train to Busan), the series is slated to release on April 5, 2024. Jeon So-Nee plays the lead role in Parasyte: The Grey. The plot follows a group of people who fight against parasites and are called ‘Team Grey.’
Parasyte: The Grey cast: Jeon So-Nee, Koo Kyo-Hwan, Lee Jung-Hyun, and more
The Netflix series features a stellar star cast, including Jeon So-Nee, Koo Kyo-Hwan, Lee Jung-Hyun, and more. Jeon So-Nee takes up Su-Mi’s role, who tries to find her perspective through her newfound symbiosis with a parasite.
Koo Kyo-Hwan plays Kang-Woo, who is embarking on a journey to find his sister. On the other hand, the third member of the team, Lee Jung-Hyun, plays Jun-Kyung. He is the leader of the anti-parasite group.
The manga writer, Iwaaki, expressed in an interview, “I am most excited that this is ‘a new story’; while I am the author of the original manga, I could also be a member of the audience that experiences thrill and awe. Thinking back to when the original manga was adapted in Japan, “Parasyte” the manga is like a ‘child’ to me, born from my own work in a small room, while the animation and live action film were like ‘grandchildren’, born from my child going out in the world and meeting many people and their wisdom, experience, and technology. I am overjoyed that another ‘grandchild’ is being born in Korea. I believe that this ‘new story’ taking place in a different location will lead us into a world beyond my imagination.”
Parasyte: The Grey is releasing on Netflix on April 5.
