Upcoming Netflix Series Black Knight has just released a teaser trailer showing audiences the significance of Deliverymen in their world.
The Black Knight teaser trailer showcases the number of different problems the deliveryman must face which includes the weather as well as violent people who wants to steal the oxygen.
Black Knight is adapted from the webtoon Delivery Knight, written by Lee Yoon-gyun and follows the journey of a refugee named Sa-wol, and the deliveryman 5-8, through a dystopian portrayal of Korea ravaged by severe air pollution making it uninhabitable without an oxygen mask.
The setting looks to be set in the not so distant future with QR code identification on the hands as well as oxygen tanks and cases being sealed in secure containers which does add to the whole intrigue surrounding the series. The land is desolate and devoid of life as well which adds to the overall atmosphere the series is based in.
The series will be Directed and Written by Cho Ui-seok and star some of the following cast members in their respective roles:
- Kim Woo-bin (Alienoid) as deliveryman 5-8
- Song Seung-heon (Man of Will) as Ryu-Seok
- Kang You-seok (The Flatterer) as Sa-Wol
- Esom (Possession) as Seol-A
Director Cho Ui-seok was also quoted saying, “When I first read the webtoon, I found the setup to be extremely innovative. It’s not the delivery men that we know of – they fight off the hunters to deliver oxygen and daily necessities, meaning that they play the most crucial role in the survival of the remaining mankind. That really appealed to me.”
Black Knight is scheduled to release this 12th of May and is described to be the story of, “A legendary delivery driver “5-8” with exceptional battle skills And a refugee “Sa-wol” who dreams of following in his footsteps.”
