‘Train To Busan’ Director Yeon Sang-ho to Create Series at Netflix Based on Korean Webtoon ‘Hell’

Horror fans are patiently waiting for director Yeon Sang-ho to follow up his 2016 zombie hit Train to Busan. Now that Peninsula is officially finished and on it’s way to fans, Yeon has his next horror project already lined up. Netflix has tapped the director to adapt a new horror series based on the Korean webtoon, or digital comic, “Hell”. According to ScreenDaily, the series is currently under the working title of Hellbound.

“The new series will adapt Choi Gyu-seok’s Korean web-toon Hell, which tells a story of surviving under social chaos, when a group of supernatural beings appear and condemn people to hell. A new religious group interprets them as the will of the divine. “

Choi’s previous work includes his other webtoon Songgot, which was adapted as a television drama in 2015. Director Yeon will draft the script with Choi, however, there is currently no available timeframe.

Many in-development projects are currently on hold due to various lockdown orders all over the world. It is also unclear if the series will be live-action or animated. However, the series will be produced by Korea’s Lezhin Studio, which specializes in transforming webtoons (digital comics) into films, dramas, video games and other original content.
