Sounds like we're going to get some retroactive continuity with this and big changes to how the infection works.

All the scenes from the trailer look like the closing minutes of season 2? No new scenes as far as I see.

The company's growth in Korea has been "exceptional," driven by successful local acquisitions and investment in original content along with two important distribution partnerships with local telcos.

Further evidence of that content investment was evident Monday, when Netflix unveiled a single episode side story to its hit series "Kingdom."

"Kingdom: Ashin of the North," will explore the back story of Ashin, played by Korean superstar Gianna Jun, who appeared at the end of Season 2. Park Byung-eun, who appeared as the head of the Royal Commandery is also confirmed to star, as the two characters' stories are intertwined. The episode will be directed by Season 1 director Kim Seong-hun from a script by Kim Eun-hee. Baram Pictures, BA Entertainment and Studio Dragon will co-produce.

Kingdom keeps popping up in my recommendations list since my wife and I basically only watch Korean rom-coms nowdays.
Is it good? How are the production values?

Oh I'm sure (and afraid) of that. Since hopping on the Korean Drama bus, I think of the 20ish shows we've watched so far, there were 2-3 max that we actually didn't finish. They're just so good. All of them...

The best thing is that each season is only 6 episodes so you can easily binge the whole thing in a week or less

It is magnificent and the production values are top-notch. Up there with Train to Busan, One Cut of the Dead, and Girl With All The Gifts, as the most refreshing and quality gift to the zombie genre in many years

We need more people watching kingdom. If a garbage ass show as the walking dead can get that many seasons then an actually good zombie show deserves as much if not more!!!!

Kingdom remains the best thing on Netflix, really want to know when in 2021 this comes out hopefully it's not too long a wait and it's next month or February.
