“She won’t just let us walk away. We have to bring her down…” Prime Video has revealed an official trailer for Butterfly, a spy thriller series arriving to watch starting this September. This streaming series is based on the graphic novel by Arash Amel, and also produced by The Amel Company, along with Amazon Studios, Boom! Studios, and 3AD. “Second chances don’t come twice.” “They share a past, now they share a mission.” Daniel Dae Kim stars as David Jung, an enigmatic, highly unpredictable former US intelligence operative living in South Korea. When the consequences of an impossible decision from his past come back to haunt him, and he finds himself pursued by Rebecca (and her organization Caddis) – a deadly, sociopathic newborn agent assigned to kill him. The cast includes Reina Hardesty as Rebecca, Piper Perabo as the boss, with Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-soo, Kim Tae-hee, Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake, and Nayoon Kim. Plus Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa in guest roles. It’s basically a Korean action series about spies – but made mostly in English for US audiences to enjoy as well. It looks entertaining & quite similar to Netflix’s FUBAR.

Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Prime Video’s series Butterfly, direct from PV’s YouTube:
