SOUTH KOREA—Netflix has just released the first trailer for new post-apocalyptic live action sci-fi series Black Knight starring Kim Woo-bin.
The series takes place in a dystopian version of South Korea, where a comet impact devastated the country 40 years ago, leaving only 1% of the population alive. With air pollution now extreme that oxygen masks are required to breathe, we see Sa-wol (played by Kang You-Seok), a refugee on a journey, and 5-8 (played by Kim Woo-bin), a legendary deliveryman.
Together, they take on the all-powerful Cheonmyung Group. But they’re not alone; humanity’s survival rests in the hands of the Black Knights, a group of delivery men unlike any other.

Black Knight is based on the popular web toon, ‘Delivery Knight’ by Lee Yun-gyun, winner of the 2018 Asian Film Market’s ‘E-IP Pitching Award’. Starring Kim Woo-bin as the legendary delivery man and knight 5-8, the show has garnered significant hype from fans worldwide.
Kim Woo-bin says, “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, who plays a young boy idolizing 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 survival 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.
