Amazon teams with Skybound for The Villainess TV series

July 12, 2021 by Gary Collinson

Back in 2019 it was announced that Robert Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment was developing a TV series based upon South Korean director Jeong Byeong-Gil’s acclaimed 2017 revenge thriller The Villainess, and now comes word that the project has found a home at Amazon.

The Villainess will revolve around “an Asian woman who believes she is adopted and raised by white parents in a small American town, but after a violent incident on a trip to Seoul, she discovers she may have a deadly past connected to her motherland. The only way to uncover her true identity might be to sell her soul to a dark and corrupt organization.”

Jung is set to direct the pilot episode of the series and will also executive produce alongside Doug Jung (Star Trek Beyond) and Francisca Hu (Sleepy Hollow), the latter of whom is also writing.
