BUTTERFLY Takes Father-Daughter Day To Explosive Heights In The First Trailer
It’s been a hefty minute since I caught onto a Prime Video drama. That revelation now takes us to the first official trailer for Butterfly, based on Arash Amel’s BOOM! Studios’ graphic novel series, and starring Daniel Dae Kim and Reina Hardesty.
Butterfly is a character-driven spy thriller that explores complex family dynamics within the treacherous world of global espionage. It’s centered on David Jung (Kim), an enigmatic, highly unpredictable former US intelligence operative living in South Korea, whose life is blown to pieces when the consequences of an impossible decision from his past come back to haunt him, and he finds himself pursued by Rebecca (Hardesty), a deadly, sociopathic young agent assigned to kill him, and Caddis, the sinister spy organization she works for.
The series also stars Piper Perabo (Yellowstone, Billions, The Big Leap), and Louis Landau (Rivals), with recurring and guest appearances by Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-soo, Kim Tae-hee, Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake, and Nayoon Kim, with Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa.
Kim also serves as an exec producer while Ken Woodruff (The Mentalist, Gotham) serves as showrunner and co-creator for the adaptation alongside acclaimed novelist Steph Cha.
Butterfly premieres all six episodes – the first two of which were directed by Kitao Sakurai (upcoming Street Fighter movie) on August 13. Check out the trailer below!
