_”I don’t care who it is as long as I can catch the killer.”_ Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for a gritty crime thriller series titled _The Blue Road_, ready for streaming worldwide in a few weeks on Netflix. Two detectives join forces when brutal murders and cryptic messages surface across borders in both Japan and Korea — but the deadly truth lurks dangerously close. What other twists will they encounter? Korean text appears with Tokyo victims, Japanese with Korean victims, leading to an international manhunt. The series first premiered at the 2026 Busan Film Festival this fall. Based on the 2002 Korean-Japanese manhwa _Blue Road_ by Keishi Edogawa & Kwon Kaya. “Bringing together director Han Jun-hee’s sophisticated and stylish mise-en-scène, the chemistry between co-stars Son Suk-ku and Eita Nagayama, and a stellar ensemble cast featuring Kim Shin-rock, Choi Sung-eun, &Jung Jae-young, _The Blue Road_ promises a riveting hardboiled crime thriller that crosses borders.” While this is technically a Korean series, it is also a Korean-Japan production for obvious reasons. I’m intrigued! This looks like they end up in some very dark corners.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Netflix’s crime thriller series _The Blue Road_, direct from YouTube:
_The case first begins when a mutilated body is discovered in Tokyo bearing a chilling message written in Korean, quickly followed by a similarly disfigured corpse found in Seoul accompanied by a message in Japanese. To track down the serial killer responsible, an alliance is formed between Kim Seok and Inose. As the two detectives navigate contrasting styles and jurisdictional hurdles, the trail pulls them into a complex web involving a mysterious Korean-Japanese businesswoman named Lee Yun-ok and recurring cryptic motifs, forcing them to unravel a dark international conspiracy._ _The Blue Road_, also known as 푸른길, is a series written and directed by Korean filmmaker Han Jun-hee, of _Coin Locker Girl_, _Hit-and-Run Squad_, “D.P.”, “Weak Hero Class 1”, and the upcoming “Dead-End Job”. Co-written with Cho Yu-jin. Based on the webtoon by Keisi Edogawa and Kwon Ga-ya. Produced by Shotcake in Korea & Japan. Netflix debuts _The Blue Road_ crime thriller series streaming on Netflix globally starting November 20th, 2026 this fall.
