"PARASYTE: THE GREY" Teaser Trailer Unveils Battle Between Parasites and Humans

The much-awaited teaser trailer and poster of "Parasyte: The Grey" have been released by Netflix. It offers a peek into the series' riveting storyline based on the original comic "Parasyte" by Hitoshi Iwaaki. Directed by Yeon Sang-ho, the plot revolves around Su-in (Jeon So-nee), a woman grappling with her new reality of co-existing with a parasite, and the relentless Team Grey, a group committed to fighting against these unidentified parasitic life-forms.

The manga which the series is based on sold an accumulated record of over 25 million copies in over 30 regions and countries with its ingenious imaginative storyline of a parasite permeating through a human brain and controlling its body, and philosophical message.

Stirring anticipation, the teaser trailer reveals a world where unsuspecting individuals have been taken over by parasites. These parasites, intent on multiplying, control humans and mimic their behavior while posing a sinister threat. Amidst this looming situation, Kang-woo (Koo Kyo-hwan) is shown in the middle of his search for his missing sibling while hiding from a parasite hunting him. Led by Jun-kyung (Lee Jung-hyun), Team Grey engages in a dangerous battle with the parasites, showing what both sides are capable of in this war with no clear end in sight. The teaser ends with a striking glimpse of Heidi, the parasite living inside Su-in, raising a flurry of questions - how did Su-in become a “mutant” who doesn’t fully belong to either the human or parasite world? And more importantly, whose side is she on?

Find out the answers and watch how everything unfolds on "Parasyte: The Grey", premiering April 5, 2024 exclusively on Netflix.
