Kingdom is Netflix's acclaimed Korean historical horror series set in Korea's Joseon Dynasty, where a crown prince investigates a mysterious plague that turns the dead into flesh-eating monsters. Combining zombie horror with intricate political intrigue and period detail, the show subverts the genre with rich character work and spectacular action sequences. A third film, Kingdom: Ashin of the North, serves as a prequel.
Both seasons of Kingdom stream on Netflix, along with the prequel special Kingdom: Ashin of the North.
Kingdom has 2 seasons (12 episodes total) plus the standalone prequel special 'Kingdom: Ashin of the North' (2021). A third season is in development.
Kingdom is in Korean with English subtitles available. It was one of Netflix's early breakout Korean-language productions.
Kingdom features zombie-like creatures, but the show takes the genre in a unique direction by setting it in historical Korea and combining the horror with political drama and period detail. The 'zombies' are driven by a mysterious plague tied to a strange plant.
No. Kingdom stands completely on its own and requires no prior knowledge of Korean television. It's an excellent entry point for viewers new to Korean dramas.
