Mark your calendars! Netflix has just revealed the release of Kingdom: Ashin of the North, a special episode that will expand the horizons of the Kingdom zombie horror series
We don't know about you, but when Netflix released the Korean thriller series Kingdom, our eyes did not leave the TV screen for days. The 2019 show explores the possibility of fighting zombies with mere tactics and fewer guns—something that movie buffs have never seen before.
The series was positively reviewed and well-loved for blending horror against a historical backdrop—the reason for its producers to release a special episode titled Kingdom: Ashin of the North. This special episode reveals the origins of the resurrection plant that triggered the avalanche of tragic events that swept through Joseon and a woman abandoned by all—Ashin.

Netflix has just given Kingdom fans a glimpse of the upcoming episode in a tense teaser. The footage shows young Ashin holding a torch and entering an eerie cave in the dark. Inside, she discovers strange markings on a rock along with the mysterious resurrection plant. The accompanying copy reads, “to revive the dead, a price must be paid”.
South Korean actress, Jun Ji-hyun will be making her highly-anticipated small-screen comeback as Asin, five years after her last drama, Legend of the Blue Sea. If you remember, Chang and Seo-bi find the resurrection plant near the Chinese border and was told that someone from China is selling it to the local villagers. The final shot of Kingdom season two was of Jun who viewers assume is spreading the virus on purpose. We can expect the special episode to be an expanded backstory of how it all began and explore Asin and the plant's origins.
