Netflix announced that this year they will release at least 8 Korean unscripted shows, double that of last year. “Our commitment to production and creativity puts Netflix at the forefront of sharing unscripted Korean shows with audiences around the world,” Netflix said.
Netflix provided a sneak peek into their growing unscripted slate including a 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.
Netflix will be bringing back the dating reality show Single’s Inferno for a third season, with changes in rules and location to further spice up the romantic roulettes.
Nineteen to Twenty
For a new take on young love, Nineteen to Twenty is a never-before-seen style of reality show that will evoke romantic memories of youth.
Physical: 100 and Siren: Survive the Island
The extremely grueling Physical: 100 is currently #2 in Netflix’s 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. Following that, Netflix will launch Siren: Survive the Island, where teams of Korea’s fittest women with different backgrounds (occupation) fight to survive on an uninhabited island.
The Devil’s Plan
“Because of our commitment to preserve 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,” Netflix explained.
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 described their new Zombie survival series.
“We’ll also be launching our first unscripted mid-form show. With a short running time of half an hour, as well as an incredibly short production time of three months, we will be able to present timely and relevant topics to our members,” Netflix also added.
