Netflix sets October 30 premiere for Korean mystery-horror series Dead-End Job

The Korean series follows a debt-strapped jobseeker whose unusually lucrative temp assignment sends him into a dangerous convenience-store shift.

Netflix has set October 30 as the premiere date for Dead-End Job , a South Korean mystery-horror-fantasy series, and released a teaser trailer and poster with the announcement. Lee Jae-wook plays Hyeok-jun, who takes a high-paying job through the mysterious Spider Staffing Agency while trying to escape heavy debt. His

first assignment appears to be an ordinary convenience store, but the work comes with a rule: never reveal what happens on the job. The series' premise turns a familiar workplace into a supernatural survival story, with the teaser depicting Hyeok-jun bloodied amid a wrecked store. Ko Min-si, Kim Min-ha and Lee Hee-jun

join the cast. Kim Da-min, who wrote A Killer Paradox , directs; Han Jun-hee, creator of D.P. and Weak Hero Class 2 , leads the wider creative development. Netflix's announcement is filed for South Korea and says the show will premiere only on Netflix on October 30. It does not state whether the same date applies in

every territory. Read Netflix's dated announcement. Headline image: Netflix. Official or creator promotional artwork.
