Parasyte: The Grey is coming to Netflix in April.
Parasyte: The Grey is a South Korean series based on the best-selling Japanese manga by Hitoshi Iwaaki.
The adaptation imagines what would happen if parasitic life-forms infiltrated Korea, charting its own course while maintaining "the imaginative world and profound message" of the original manga.
The show follows Su-in (Jeon So-nee), a woman grappling with "her newfound coexistence with a parasite," and also follows the efforts of "Team Grey," a group dedicated to fighting the parasites.
Additional cast members include Koo Kyo-hwan, Lee Jung-hyun, Kwon Hae-hyo and Kim In-kwon.Parasyte: the Grey hails from Train to Busan director and Hellbound creator Yeon Sang-ho.
"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," Iwaaki said in a press release."I believe that this 'new story' taking place in a different location will lead us into a world beyond my imagination."
Yeon's Hellbound will return for a second season on Netflix this year.
