Train To Busan director Yeon Sang-ho showcased his new supernatural series, Hellbound, at the Toronto International Film Festival over the weekend. Three of the six episodes of the K-drama were shown to the audience. This marked the first time a Korean drama has ever been shown at the festival.

The series is based on web comic The Hell that was written and illustrated by Yeon himself and artist Choi Gyu-seok. Fans of the director's past films will recognise the similar tone of this drama, as it follows characters in a dark fictional world where humans are informed by angels on when they would die for their sins.
