The series is based on the graphic novel series and film from Oscar® winner Bong Joon Ho (Parasite). The film version had a super cast starring Chris Evans, Jamie Bell, Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt and Ed Harris.  The film was a cult hit and a huge fan favourite – and it’s easy to see why.
