Based on the ‘Parasyte’ manga series by Hitoshi Iwaaki, Netflix just released the first teaser trailer for ‘Parasyte: The Grey’. Arriving this April 5th, the sci-fi thriller series is directed by ‘Train To Busan’ director Yeon Sang-Ho.
At the center of its story is Su-in, played by Jeon So-nee (Our Blooming Youth, Scripting Your Destiny, Soulmate, Bad Police) as she grapples with her newfound coexistence with a Parasite. The series also follows the efforts of Team Grey, a group dedicated to fighting mysterious Parasites that live off humans.
The original manga follows high school student Shinichi Izumi who falls victim to a Parasite, a tiny worm-like alien who takes over the brains of their hosts by entering through their ears or noses. However, Shinichi wakes up in the middle of the possession and the Parasite burrows into his arm instead, causing both beings to retain their separate intellects and personalities.
The manga was originally published in 1989 and sold over 25 million copies in more than 30 regions and countries. The manga was later adapted into a 24-episode anime series by Madhouse in 2015.
