Netflix has revealed a live-action series called ‘Parasyte: -TAMIYA-‘, created and written by director Yeon Sang-ho.

Currently being finalized, the series is expected to launch worldwide in 2027.
Netflix is creating a new live-action series called Parasyte: -TAMIYA, based on the popular sci-fi horror manga by Hitoshi Iwaaki. The series will be led by director Yeon Sang-ho, known for films like Train to Busan, who will work with Ryu Yong-jae on the story and script. This project follows the success of their 2024 spin-off, Parasyte: The Grey, and will return to the original storyline of the manga after The Grey* explored a new setting in South Korea.
The upcoming series tells an original story focusing on Ryoko Tamiya, a fascinating and deeply thoughtful villain from the franchise. She’s a brilliant parasite who once pretended to be a teacher to understand people, went through pregnancy and motherhood, and constantly explored the complex relationship between humans and parasites.
The new series Parasyte: -TAMIYA is still being made and is expected to be released worldwide in 2027. Shioli Kutsuna, known for her role in Deadpool 2*, will play the main character Ryoko Tamiya, a part she says is the most demanding of her career so far.
