Netflix unveiled the official trailer for its highly anticipated Chinese-language crime thriller series, Copycat Killer!
The series premieres 31 March exclusively on the streaming platform. Set in 90s Taipei, Copycat Killer is adapted from a popular crime mystery novel by Japanese writer Miyuki Miyabe, where a spate of grisly murders throws a city into chaos, a tenacious prosecutor must brace for a cat-and-mouse game against a dangerous manipulator.
Set against the haunting whistling of Noh — an evil media-savvy serial killer – the trailer uncovers pivotal threads of a series of high-profile murder cases, and as the prosecutor Kuo Hsiao-chi, played by award-winning actor Wu-Kang Ren (Light The Night, Shards of Her and Mom! Don’t Do That), gets closer to the truth, more suspects and accomplices emerge. As the killer repeatedly carries out his arrogant and unstoppable actions, the prosecutor grows increasingly haggard with the weight of the case.
Speaking on the premise oof the series, Wu said:
An evil so widespread and pervasive is difficult to parry. The exploration of what humankind will do in the face of such evil will be a key takeaway for audiences of the show.
Watch the trailer below:
Copycat Killer will premiere globally and exclusively on Netflix 31 March.
