Netflix is gearing up for its largest slate of original Korean content to debut in 2023.
The streamer announced 34 titles Tuesday, including 11 previously unannounced projects, with the increase in K-Content coming after its rise in popularity on the streamer in 2022. More 60% of all Netflix subscribers streamed Korean movies and TV shows last year.
“Over the last year, Korean series and films have regularly featured in our Global Top 10 list in more than 90 countries, and three of Netflix’s most-watched shows ever are from Korea,” said Netflix Vice President of Content (Korea) Don Kang in a statement. “This year, we’re pushing the envelope even further with the stories we tell and how we tell them. With this lineup of Korean titles, Netflix will continue to be the ultimate destination for compelling, diverse and must-watch Korean storytelling.”
Sweet Home, D.P., and The Glory will all return for new seasons in 2023, along with several new shows, including A Time Called You, Behind Your Touch, Crash Course in Romance, Destined With You, Doona!, King the Land, Love to Hate You, See You In My 19th Life, Daily Dose of Sunshine, Queenmaker, The Good Bad Mother, Bloodhounds, Celebrity, and Mask Girl.
“We are very excited over the variety of the titles that we’re sharing with our members,” Kang said. “There’s truly a series, a film or an unscripted show for everyone, and we look forward to our Korean shows connecting to fans both overseas and at home.”
