Created by Ken Woodruff(The Mentalist, Gotham) and writer Steph Cha, Butterfly is a spy series adapted from the BOOM! Studios comic strip by Arash Amel. Produced by Daniel Dae Kim, who also plays the lead role, it will be available on Prime Video from August 13, 2025, with all six episodes broadcast in their entirety.
The trailer and first images reveal an edgy thriller of state secrets, betrayals and personal dilemmas, set against an international backdrop that ranges from the back alleys of Seoul to behind-the-scenes clandestine operations.
Butterfly will be available on Prime Video from August 13, 2025, with all 6 episodes.
Synopsis: David Jung, a former U.S. intelligence agent based in South Korea, finds his life turned upside down when an impossible decision he made in the past comes back to haunt him. Hunted by Rebecca, a young sociopathic agent working for the dreaded Caddis organization, he must survive in a world of espionage where the line between personal life and deadly missions is blurring.
Daniel Dae Kim, also executive producer via his company 3AD, emphasized that Butterfly is the culmination of a project to bring together American and Korean creators. The series plays on a dual cultural and geographical grounding, enriching the spy thriller genre with a personal and family dimension.
Joining Daniel Dae Kim are Reina Hardesty(The Secret Art of Human Flight), Piper Perabo(Yellowstone, Billions), and Louis Landau(Rivals). The recurring cast includes Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-soo, Kim Tae-hee, Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake and Nayoon Kim, with Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa as special guests.
Ken Woodruff and Steph Cha adapt Arash Amel's graphic novel for the small screen, with Gareth Evans directing the first two episodes. The production team also includes Stephen Christy and Ross Richie (BOOM! Studios) and Adam Yoelin.
Butterfly could appeal to viewers of Homeland, Slow Horses or Bodyguard, mixing political tension, choreographed action and deep psychological portraits.
