Netflix unveiled their 2025 film slate on the sidelines of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF). Titles include Revelations , from Train to Busan and Hellbound director Yeon Sang-ho. The film follows a pastor and a detective, each driven by their own beliefs while dealing with a missing-person case.
Ryu Jun-yeol ( The Night Owl ) and Shin Hyun-been ( Hospital Playlist ) star in the film. “In my last few works, I’ve worked with heavy visual effects and computer graphics because my stories had monsters and creatures in them, but for Revelations , we didn’t have much computer graphics in it, so the work process has been very different,” Yeon said. “For example, we shot a lot with natural light and we sometimes have to wait to get the right light.
” After making several titles with Netflix, including Parasyte: The Grey and the upcoming second season of Hellbound , Yeon will mark his return to the theaters with mystery thriller The Ugly . Netflix will also release its first Korean-language animated film Lost in Starlight by writer and director Han Ji-won, which tells a futuristic love story between a musician and an astronaut — a relationship that it bills as the “longest-ever long-distance relationship.” Another title on Netflix’s 2025 Korean film slate is Kim Byung-woo’s sci-fi disaster film The Great Flood .
Kim Da-mi ( Itaewon Class ) and Park Hae-soo ( Squid Game ) will star in the film. Set on the last day of Earth, The Great Flood tells the story of a desperate fight to save a child from a flooding apartment after a great flood has swept the planet. After releasing his thought-provoking thriller Unlocked last year, Kim Tae-joon will launch another film with Netflix, titled Wall to Wall .
The thriller follows the story of Woo-seong, a man who has finally saved up enough to buy an apartment, only to have it turn into a nightmare when financial ruin and mysterious noises from neighboring floors start to trouble him. Kang Ha-neul ( When the Camellia Blooms ) plays the role of Woo-seong, while Yeom Hye-ran ( The Glory ) plays Eun-hwa, a resident representative dedicated to maintaining peace within the apartment complex. Seo Hyun-woo ( Flower of Evil ) takes on the role of Jin-ho, the man living above Woo-seong.
He and Woo-seong team up to find the source of the persistent noises in the building. The film’s Korean title translates as “84 Square Metres,” which references one of the most common apartment sizes in Korea . Good News (working title) is written and directed by Byun Sung-hyun, who made The Merciless which premiered at Cannes as well as Netflix’s Kill Boksoon.
Set in 1970, the film follows an operation carried out by a group determined to land a hijacked airplane. Sul Kyung-gu, Hong Kyung and Ryoo Seung-bum have been cast in the film. After working as an assistant director on Kill Boksoon , Lee Tae-sung will make his debut feature with Mantis (working title).
The action film is a spinoff set in the same universe as Kill Boksoon , following Mantis, an ace assassin returning to the hired-killer industry after his vacation. Yim Si-wan, Park Gyu-young and Jo Woo-jin will star in the film. Youth romance film Love Untangled by Namkoong Sun will also premiere on the platform next year.
