news culture Black Knight: scenario, release date … All about the Netflix series that mixes Mad Max and Death Stranding
A mixture of Mad Max and Death Stranding, this is how the new Korean series Black Knight presents itself, produced by Netflix. A show that promises a lot of action.
What is the Black Knight release date?
The Korean series Black Knight will be released on May 23, 2023 on the legal streaming platform Netflix. Only one season is currently announced for this production. However, it is based on the webtoon Delivery Knight, which follows the lives of intrepid delivery men on an oxygen-free earth and spans nearly a hundred chapters. This one is complete, but it’s unclear which part the show will address and if it will be faithful. We can therefore imagine that if this happens, multiple seasons could see the light of day, success on the SVOD platform allowing it.
To watch the Black Knight series in France you will have to wait until May 12, 2023 and Go to your Netflix account. We follow the adventures of a delivery man who has to fulfill his missions on a devastated earth without oxygen. It’s exclusive to the American streaming platform, so it won’t be possible to watch the show anywhere else. Be careful not to confuse this production with the other Korean entertainment, Black Knight the man who keep me, which tells us a centuries-old love story.
