Netflix shares trailer for Toho’s Human Vapor series

May 13, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

Netflix has shared a trailer for Human Vapor, the upcoming series reboot of Toho’s 1960 feature of the same name.

Directed by Shinzo Katayama, the Japanese thriller series follows a mysterious man who can disappear into thin air as he evades the authorities while carrying out a series of inexplicable, targeted assassinations.

The cast of the eight-episode limited series includes Shun Oguri, Yu Aoi, Suzu Hirose, Kento Hayashi, UTA, and Yutaka Takenouchi. Check out the trailer below…

A team of top Japanese and Korean creators joins forces to reboot Toho’s legendary SFX film with an entirely original story: the Human Vapor, an uncanny, amorphous being about to uproot our world.

When a guest commentator swells and explodes on live TV in an unprecedented and unimaginable crime, the whole world is thrown into shock. Behind this horrific murder is a man who has seemingly vanished into thin air: the Human Vapor. With no one able to grasp his true identity, this enigma continues to announce and execute a series of targeted assassinations, evading identification and capture to escalate nationwide terror with each inexplicable attack.

Human Vapor arrives on Netflix on July 2nd.
