This week, Netflix debuted the teaser trailer and poster for its upcoming series “Parasyte: The Grey,” based on the horror manga “Kiseiju” (Parasyte) by Hitoshi Iwaaki.
Directed by Yeon Sang-ho (“Train to Busan”), the Korean horror series is set to expand the world of the globally acclaimed manga. “Parasyte: The Grey” is set in a world where alien parasites have taken over unsuspecting individuals. These parasites, intent on multiplying, control humans and mimic their behavior while posing a sinister threat. The plot revolves around Su-in (Jeon So-nee), a woman grappling with her new reality of coexisting with a parasite, and the relentless Team Grey, a group committed to fighting against these unidentified parasitic life forms.
The teaser ends with a striking glimpse of Heidi, the parasite living inside Su-in, raising a flurry of questions — how did Su-in become a “mutant” who doesn’t fully belong to either the human or parasite world? And, more importantly, whose side is she on?
“Parasyte: The Grey” will premiere on Netflix on April 5, 2024.
