"Butterfly" on Prime Video is adapted from BOOM! Studios' graphic novel series by Arash Amel, presenting a character-driven spy thriller that delves into family relationships amid the dangerous world of international espionage.
The story follows David Jung (Kim), a mysterious and unpredictable former US intelligence agent in South Korea, whose life is shattered when a past impossible decision resurfaces. He is then hunted by Rebecca (Hardesty), a ruthless young sociopathic agent tasked with eliminating him, and her employer, the shadowy spy organization known as Caddis.
“Butterfly fulfills a long-held dream to unite American and Korean storytellers in a series that connects two cultures I deeply cherish,” Kim shared. “I'm delighted with the talented team we've built, both onscreen and behind the scenes, and I thank Ken Woodruff, Boom! Studios, 3AD, Amazon, and all who helped realize this project.”
Ken Woodruff of "The Mentalist" and "Gotham" serves as showrunner and co-creator with celebrated novelist Steph Cha. The cast also includes Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-soo, Kim Tae-hee, Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake, and Nayoon Kim, with Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa in guest appearances.
Woodruff and Cha executive produce alongside Kim, John Cheng for 3AD, Stephen Christy and Ross Richie for BOOM! Studios, and Arash Amel for The Amel Company.
