From Finding Love To Fighting Zombies, Netflix Brings Korean Unscripted Shows To The World

Today, Netflix is excited to present a sneak peek into its growing unscripted slate!

This year, Netflix will release at least eight Korean unscripted titles, twice of what was released last year.

Committing to production and creativity puts Netflix at the forefront of sharing unscripted Korean shows with audiences around the world.

The lineup includes a rich variety of themes such as dating, physical endurance, mind games and zombies, and members will be able to enjoy a new unscripted show either monthly or bimonthly.

Singles Inferno 3

To start off, we’re bringing back hot dating reality show Single’s Inferno for a third season, with changes in rules and location to further spice up the romantic roulettes.

When Netflix received the proposal for Single’s Inferno at the end of 2020, there weren’t many dating programs in Korea. We set out to close the gap locally and ended up winning fans globally.

The first season became the first Korean unscripted show to debut on the Global Top 10 Non-English TV list. Following suit this year, Season 2 featured in the Global Top 10 for four weeks, and pulled in even higher viewing hours.

Nineteen To Twenty

Dating and survival reality TV shows are well-loved formats around the world, and we have put our own inimitable stamp on them. For a new take on young love, Nineteen to Twenty is a never-before-seen style of a reality show that will evoke romantic memories of your youth.

Physical 100

The extremely grueling Physical: 100 is currently #2 in our Global Top 10 Non-English TV series, and is featured in the Top 10 in 62 countries worldwide. We are just two weeks from finding out the winner.

Siren: Survive the Island

Following that, we’ll have Siren: Survive the Island, where teams of Korea’s fittest women with different backgrounds (occupations) fight to survive on an uninhabited island.

The Devil’s Plan

Because of Netflix’s commitment to preserving the creator’s vision, we have had the opportunity to work with some of Korea’s top unscripted showrunners and creatives. Jeong Jong-yeon, who pioneered Korea’s survival shows based on mind games, is the mastermind behind our upcoming series The Devil’s Plan.

Zombieverse

And since Korea is famous for our zombies, we decided to take the genre to the next level with Zombieverse, where contestants are fighting for survival as Seoul comes under a zombie attack. To make the set more realistic, we involved the art team from All of Us Are Dead while the zombies were trained by the choreographers of Kingdom.

Netflix is devoted to creating must-watch entertainment for a variety of audiences in Korea and around the world, and we’re thrilled to see our growing lineup of unscripted titles find new fans everywhere.
