After the huge success of Parasite Movie (2019), fans patiently waited for the announced spinoff HBO series. A few years later, Bong Joo-Ong-ho, the director of the parasitic film, currently busy with his upcoming film Mickey 17, shared a new and promising update for fans on HBO’s adaptation. He confirmed that the series is in development and progress is being made in the writing room.
News that Parasite has won a spinoff series was first announced in January 2020. It has been reported that Bong Joon-Ho will work with filmmaker Adam McKay to executive produce an English series based on Korean films. It has been confirmed that the project will be planned as a limited series of six hours. However, despite all the plans, there have been few updates since the announcement. Now, the Mickey 17 director spoke about it and reassured his fans.
In an interview with Deadline, Bong Joon-Ho shared that the parasite spinoff series is still in work. He says, “The writers work very hard,” adding, “the writing room of that show itself can be another TV show,” and the enormous amount of hard work the writers have put into the project. I mentioned dedication. Since the announcement was made, fans are just too excited to see how the world’s parasites pan out in the form of the series.
The film tells the story of class struggles, power movements, and despair for survival. The storyline revolves around the wealthy park family and the poor Kim family. The film beautifully shows how poor families can overtake wealthy families with their unnings and make them question everything in their lives.
Parasite has won four Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Features. However, there have been no follow-up updates or cast details over the years after the initial talk of the film’s spin-off series. This made fans suspect that the project was probably shelved. However, recent confirmations from Bong Joon-Ho have given fans new hope.
A few years after its release, Parasites continue to be one of the most influential films of modern cinema. Now Bong Junho is preparing for his upcoming film Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Stephen Yen, Toni Colette and Mark Ruffalo. During his conversation with the deadline, Pattinson spoke about the director and said he was “incredible.” He described him as “master.”
Discussing the film, Bong Joon Ho said: “It’s about humanity. Mickey’s story revolves around ordinary, helpless, vulnerable young people.” The film is scheduled to appear in theaters around the world on March 7, 2025. Are you excited about Parasite holding a spin-off series?
