The Silent Sea Teaser Previews Netflix's Korean Sci-Fi Thriller Series

Netflix has revealed the first teaser trailer and poster for the upcoming South Korean sci-fi thriller series titled The Silent Sea, featuring an ensemble cast led by Train to Busan star Gong Yoo and Sense8 alum Bae Doona. The 8-episode mystery drama will be available for streaming on December 24.

The video, which you can check out below along with the key-art poster, teases a space mission with a 10% survival rate as an 11-member crew tries to retrieve samples from an abandoned lunar base.

The Silent Sea will star Gong Yoo (Train to Busan, Goblin), Bae Doona (Sense8, Kingdom), Lee Joon (My Father is Strange), Kim Sun-young (Reply 1988), Lee Mu-saeng (The World of the Married), Lee Sung-wook (Persona), and more.

“Set in a future Earth that has undergone desertification, the series is the story of the members of a special team sent to secure a mysterious sample from an abandoned research facility on the moon,” reads the logline.

Gong Yoo, who most recently appeared in Squid Game as a player recruiter, portrays the role of Han Yun-jae, the exploration team leader who must carry out a crucial mission with limited information. He puts the safety of his team members above all else and does not refrain from putting himself in jeopardy to do so.

Meanwhile, Bae Doona is playing astrobiologist Doctor Song Ji-an who joins the team, determined to uncover the truth behind an accident at the now-abandoned Balhae Base research station on the moon.

The Silent Sea is directed by Choi Hang-yong from screenplay written by Park Eun-kyo, based on Choi’s 2014 short film titled The Sea of Tranquility. It is a production by Artist Studio, with acclaimed South Korean actor Jung Woo-sung serving as an executive producer.
