THE Netflix series Black Knight is set to make its worldwide premiere on May 12.
The series follows the journey of refugee Sa-wol and the legendary deliveryman 5-8, who takes on the all-powerful Cheonmyeong Group in a dystopian portrayal of Korea devastated by severe air pollution, making it uninhabitable without an oxygen mask.
Adapted from a widely acclaimed webtoon, Black Knight revolves around deliverymen called ‘black knights’ who endanger their lives to transport essentials to people in a polluted and dystopian world, where strict social hierarchy is enforced.
Starring Kim Woo-bin as the legendary deliveryman 5-8, the show has garnered significant enthusiasm from fans worldwide.
Kim Woo-bin said, “I felt immense happiness while filming this series, and I sincerely hope that our collective efforts resonate with the viewers, and they too relish every moment of it, just as I did.”
The show features an impressive cast, including Song Seung-heon, who portrays the lone heir to the Chunmyung Group; Kang You-seok, playing a young refugee who idolises 5-8; and Esom, who stars as a major at the Defense Intelligence Command.
This dream team works together to bring to life the stories of the characters as they navigate the challenges of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world.
The series is helmed by director Cho Ui-seok, known for his remarkable work on acclaimed films such as Master, Cold Eyes, and The World of Silence.
