Netflix announced that Parasyte: The Grey<\/strong> will be premiering on April 5. The upcoming Korean series is based on Hitoshi Iwaaki\u2019s science-fiction horror manga series Parasyte, <\/strong>and is being directed by Yeon Sang-ho, director of the hit zombie apocalypse film Train to Busan.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the announcement<\/a>, Parasyte: The Grey draws inspiration from Iwaaki\u2019s original manga, preserving its worldbuilding and message while transporting it to a new environment and introducing a new cast of characters. The story will take place in South Korea, with a female protagonist at its center. Similarly to Shinichi in the original manga, Su-in will experience various struggles while being forced to coexist with a parasite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Japanese Parasyte fans have responded to the news with great enthusiasm<\/a>, harboring high expectations of director Yeon Sang-ho’s skills and South Korea\u2019s visceral cinematography. The series will not attempt to adapt the manga literally, but rather expand upon it in an original way. This is largely being regarded as a good decision, as the audience is more welcoming to an original story that respects the spirit of the original rather than a “slightly off\u201d literal adaptation. The original mangaka Iwaaki has commented that he is \u201cmost excited that this is a new story,\u201d as he will also get to enjoy the thrill of the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parasyte: The Grey is scheduled to premiere on April 5 on Netflix<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
