“Hellbound”: Netflix Unleashes Hell on November 19th [Trailer]

Netflix is heading “Hellbound” with Yeon Sang-ho, the Korean director behind Train to Busan and its sequel Peninsula, who taps into the world’s collective anxiety with his wildly original take on the procedural drama.

After a premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Netflix shares the following announcement trailer that has risen straight from Hell. Much like the teaser, we see the opening moments of the series where three demonic figures come smashing through a coffee shop window, pinning a man down and leaving him in ashes. You’ll be able to see how it continues when it premieres globally on November 19, 2021.

Based on the Korean webtoon “Hell”, ” ‘Hellbound’ tells a story of surviving under social chaos when a group of supernatural beings appear and condemn people to hell. A new religious group interprets them as the will of the divine.

“What unfolds through this predicament is an intense and highly-charged story about people who must survive under conditions of utter social chaos,” explained the initial press release.

Joe Lipsett reviewed the series, writing that it carries a great premise, but struggles with its execution.
