Netflix is set to launch House of Ninjas, a bold series that immerses viewers in the world of ninjas operating in contemporary Japan. Available from February 15, 2024, the series promises to captivate with its gripping action scenes and breathless suspense, exploring a fascinating question: what if ninjas still existed among us?
The series follows the lives of the Tawara family, who live in an old mansion and reluctantly run a traditional brewery, while hiding a monumental secret: they are the last descendants of Hattori Hanzo, legendary shadow ninjas. The second son, Haru, chooses an ordinary life working as a vending machine filler, far removed from the martial exploits of his ancestors. The family, once united by their elite role among the ninjas, now finds itself fragmented after the tragic loss of eldest son Gaku, struggling with their identities in a society that has forgotten the ways of the ninjas.
Over 8 episodes, House of Ninjas weaves a complex tale of tradition and modernity, secrecy and revelation. Each member of the Tawara family struggles in his own way with the weight of their heritage, from the father who tries to live a normal life by taking over the family brewery, to the daughter who lives a double life as a student and ninja, respecting the teachings of her late brother.
The series is distinguished by its ability to blend elements of deep family drama with dynamic action scenes, illustrating the challenges faced by the Tawara family in a world that has evolved beyond ninja traditions. Haru, in particular, represents this inner struggle, torn between his desire for a normal life and the responsibilities of his ninja heritage.
House of Ninjas also explores themes of identity, loss and redemption, through the unique prism of ninja culture, offering viewers a captivating blend of action, suspense and emotional drama. This series is a bold exploration of what it means to be a ninja in the contemporary world, promising to be a must-see for fans of the genre and those intrigued by Japan's rich ninja history.
