Agent from Above is a fantasy series that mixes Taiwanese folklore with modern storytelling.

He does this by investigating and resolving supernatural events affecting people. During his investigations, he teams up with Yeh Tzu, a cheerful college student portrayed by Buffy Chen, and detective Chang Min (Johnny Yang), who both have the ability to see spirits.
The story follows their dangerous battles against the enigmatic and cruel Chen Chi-sha, as they investigate the origins of Wu Tien-chi, a powerful entity jeopardizing the fragile peace between humans and demons. Through these challenges, Han Chieh rediscovers his life’s purpose and the real power of his abilities.
Imagine a blend of shows like Supernatural and Constantine, but set in Taiwan – that’s Agent from Above, coming to Netflix on April 2, 2026. The trailer shows off the extensive special effects used to create this live-action fantasy adventure, which explains why it took a little longer to produce.
