April will bring an array of different new series content, from a legendary series' return to a popular Japanese manga adaptation, as well as a romantic comedy.

Netflix is releasing its new original series, "Parasyte: The Grey," a live-action adaptation of the Japanese sci-fi manga series "Parasyte" by Hitoshi Iwaaki.

The thriller horror series, scheduled to hit the streaming platform on April 5, revolves around a girl, Su-in (Jeon So-nee) who gets infected by an unidentified parasite that lives off humans and comes to terms with having to live with it.

When the parasitic life forms rise to power, violently taking over human hosts, Su-in comes together with Kang-woo (Koo Kyo-hwan), who learns about the parasites while finding his missing sister, to uncover the true intentions of the parasites.

The series was created by director Yeon Sang-ho who is known for leading the apocalyptic film "Train to Busan" (2016) and the Netflix series "Hellbound" (2021).

Korea's beloved detective series, "Chief Detective," which ran for 18 years, starting in 1971, will be returning with a prequel series, "Chief Detective 1958."

Set in the late 1950s, the new series, which will commence airing on April 19, will follow the early career of the original series' protagonist, Detective Park Young-han (Lee Je-hoon). Park is confident and has good detective instincts. He is transferred to a police station in Seoul from a suburban area. When he learns of the corruption within the law enforcement agency, he teams up with fellow detectives, including hot-tempered Kim Sang-soon (Lee Dong-hwi), to bring those responsible to justice and become a true detective.

This will be a series directorial debut for filmmaker Kim Sung-hoon, whose previous works include the films, "Confidential Assignment" (2017) and "Rampant" (2018).
