Here's Your First Look at the Kingdom Spin-Off

(SPOT.ph) You might recall how Season 2 of Korean zombie drama Kingdom ended: with a shot of a new character played by Gianna Jun. If you can’t just wait for the third season, here’s good news: Netflix is dropping Kingdom: Ashin of the North later in the year and we’ve got first-look images!

This special standalone episode from the Kingdom universe will focus on the backstory of the mysterious character named Ashin that Lee Chang (Ju Ji Hoon)’s group encountered on their journey to discover the origins of the infected.

Writer Kim Eun Hee and director Kim Seong Hun gave more details about the spin-off episode in a separate panel discussion at the See What’s Next Korea virtual event on February 25. “Ashin is one of the main characters in the Kingdom series,” shares writer Kim. “I thought that it would be more apt to tackle that in the special episode, a spin-off, rather than incorporating that into the regular seasons, just to make it more interesting.” Director Kim adds that Ashin of the North is “a building block that has been placed on that foundation [in the Kingdom universe].”

Ashin is a descendant from a northern tribe; the person who has the “clue to the mystery of the resurrection plant,” says writer Kim.

In the panel, director Kim also expressed joy over the success of Kingdom. “We have launched two respective series over the years. And it turned out to be an even more bigger success than we imagined. And it was a very surreal experience and a unique experience to see all the huge massive responses from the global audience in real time.”

Check out the short teaser that Netflix Philippines shared in late 2020:
