Noh Hong-chul‘s presence is crazy... ‘Zombieverse: New Blood’ Main Poster-Trailer Released

The main poster and main trailer for the Netflix variety show ‘Zombieverse: New Blood’ have been released.

The Netflix variety show ‘​ Zombieverse: New Blood’, which will be released on Tuesday, November 19, is a bigger and funnier zombie comedy variety show about the appearance of ‘New Blood’, the only hope in the midst of a stronger zombie threat, and solving extraordinary quests and dilemmas for survival. ‘New Faces’ Jo Se-ho, Defconn, Taeyeon, Yook Sung-jae, Code Kunst, Kwon Eun-bi, Kim Sun-tae, and Andre Rush have joined, while original members Lee Si-young, DinDin, Dex, Tsuki, and Patricia will join. In particular, Noh Hong-chul, the ‘Resurrected One’ who returned from the dead, also stimulates curiosity about what kind of variable he will act as.

The main poster and trailer that were released among them raise expectations for an even more spectacular survival game in the expanded zombie worldview. First, the intense visual of Noh Hong-chul, the ‘Resurrected One’ in the main poster steals the spotlight. The appearances of Lee Si-young, Jo Se-ho, Defconn, Taeyeon, Yook Sung-jae, DinDin, Dex, Code Kunst, and Kwon Eun-bi, contrasting with Noh Hong-chul’s madness that seems to devour the survivors, are exciting. Expectations are rising for what kind of variable Noh Hong-chul‘s resurrection from the zombie virus last season will act as in ‘Zombieverse: New Blood’ and what kind of teamwork the Season 1 survivors and the ‘New Faces’ will demonstrate.

The main trailer that was released together announces an unpredictable change in the zombie worldview. The survivors who escaped Seoul on a refugee ship. Amid the shock of the ruined city center and the news of the lockdown of Seoul, the resurrection of Noh Hong-chul, who was thought to be dead, throws them into even more confusion.

The breaking news that a ‘rare constitution patient’ exists hints at another mission given to them. From the chase with Noh Hong-chul, who is suspected of being a ‘rare constitution patient’, to the survival mission through the subway, underwater, and mountains while avoiding attacks by a horde of zombies with altered abilities, it adds to the spectacular fun. Attention is being paid to why the survivors captured ‘The Resurrected’ Noh Hong-chul and embarked on an operation to escort him to Seoul, and whether they will be able to survive until the end against the hordes of zombies that have evolved to be more powerful.

PD Park Jin-kyung said, “If ‘Zombieverse’ was the stage of creating the worldview, ‘Zombieverse: New Blood’ is where the full-fledged adventure begins based on the worldview.” He pointed out the differences from Season 1, saying, “We designed the quests to be fun in many ways, such as the expanded stage that starts in Jeju Island and travels across the country to Seoul, the thrilling ‘Large-scale action quest’, and the ‘Dilemma Quest’ where the cast members placed in a zombie situation agonize between life and death.” He continued, “The comical zombie setting that fits the style of a variety show is also a key point. “Zombies that you don’t see in typical zombie films will appear in large numbers, providing big laugh points in each episode,” he said.

Meanwhile, ‘Zombieverse: New Blood’​ is the result of the collaboration between Kakao Entertainment CP Park Jin-kyung of [My Little Television], [Ants Are Chubby Today], and [Dunia: Into a New World], and PD Moon Sang-don of [Welcome~ First Time in Korea?] and [Walking the Night]. It will be released worldwide through Netflix on Tuesday, November 19.
