Actress Jang Seo-yeon has been cast in Amazon's Prime Video series 'Butterfly.'
Jang's agency, Content Hub, noted on the 13th that, 'Jang Seo-yeon will appear in Amazon's Prime Video series 'Butterfly.'
'Butterfly' is a spy thriller series based on a graphic novel of the same name, depicting the chase between a former U.S. intelligence agent, David Jung (played by Daniel Dae Kim), and a current agent, Rebecca (played by Reina Hardesty), sent to kill him.
Jang Seo-yeon is expected to showcase a variety of characters alongside Daniel Dae Kim and Piper Perabo.
Korean-American actor Daniel Dae Kim, who is producing and starring in 'Butterfly,' has teamed up with Ken Woodruff, who has worked on 'The Mentalist' and 'Gotham,' on a novel co-written in 2019. Korean-American author Steph Cha, who won the Los Angeles Times Mystery & Thriller section award, is serving as a co-executive producer and showrunner.
The series will also film key scenes in Seoul's landmarks such as the Han River, Cheonggyecheon, Jongno, and Yeouido, and is raising expectations as 'a U.S. series that properly represents Korea' by using J-Hope's solo song 'What If' in the trailer.
In particular, attention is drawn not only to Daniel Dae Kim, Reina Hardesty, and Piper Perabo, but also to Jang Seo-yeon, a rising global star who has joined the casting lineup alongside prominent domestic and international actors such as Kim Tae-hee, Park Hae-soo, and Kim Ji-hoon.
Earlier, on the 15th of last month, Jang Seo-yeon gained public attention when she announced her casting in the Netflix series 'Beef' Season 2, and now she has informed about her appearance in Amazon's Prime Video series 'Butterfly,' raising expectations about how influential she will become in Hollywood.
Meanwhile, 'Butterfly,' starring Jang Seo-yeon, consists of a total of 6 episodes, with all episodes set to be released on August 13 (local time) in the U.S. on Amazon's Prime Video, and it will meet Korean viewers every Friday and Saturday at 10:40 p.m. on tvN starting August 22.
