Netflix's special 'Kingdom' episode trailer weaves a bloody tale of revenge (and zombies)
Watch Next

Netflix's Kingdom blew us away with its fresh take on zombies in 16th century Korea over two seasons, and now the streaming giant is releasing a spinoff that appears just as brutal.

Set to run as a 92-minute special episode, Kingdom: Ashin of the North takes us back to the kingdom of Joseon, where Ashin (Jun Ji-hyun) is set on a path of archery-fuelled vengeance following a violent tragedy.

Penned by Kingdom writer Kim Eun-Hee and directed by Season 1's Kim Seong-Hun, the lengthy episode seems to follow a path littered with brutal battles, ferocious creatures, and a mysterious disease that seems linked to plants — yes, that means more zombies.

Kingdom: Ashin of the North lands on Netflix July 23. Meanwhile, Kingdom Seasons 1-2 are now streaming on Netflix.
