Official description:
A team of top Japanese and Korean creators joins forces to reboot Toho’s legendary SFX film with an entirely original story: the Human Vapor, an uncanny, amorphous being about to uproot our world. When a guest commentator swells and explodes on live TV in an unprecedented and unimaginable crime, the whole world is thrown into shock. Behind this horrific murder is a man who has seemingly vanished into thin air: the Human Vapor. With no one able to grasp his true identity, this enigma continues to announce and execute a series of targeted assassinations, evading identification and capture to escalate nationwide terror with each inexplicable attack. This groundbreaking new series is written and executive produced by Yeon Sang-ho, the creator of global hits including Train to Busan, Hellbound, and Parasyte: The Grey. The visionary Shinzo Katayama (Gannibal, Siblings of the Cape, Missing), whose unflinching depiction of the madness hidden within human nature continues to captivate audiences both in Japan and abroad, directs. A stellar cast of leading Japanese actors completes the ensemble: Shun Oguri plays the detective pursuing the Human Vapor, Yu Aoi dons the hat of a reporter, Suzu Hirose and Kento Hayashi play video content creators, and Yutaka Takenouchi portrays a yakuza. Witness a chemical reaction unlike anything the world has ever seen.
