Netflix's Korean thriller Agent Kim Reactivated tops global charts

Netflix released the South Korean action‑thriller series Agent Kim Reactivated on 26 June 2026. The ten‑episode show follows Kim Do‑hyeon, a single‑father and former elite intelligence operative whose teenage daughter is abducted, forcing him to revive his lethal skills. Starring So Ji‑sub and adapted from the web‑toon “Manager Kim,” the narrative blends the personal stakes of Taken with the relentless violence of John Wick.

The series employs a weekly rollout – two episodes each Friday and Saturday – a departure from Netflix’s typical binge‑release model, and has quickly become one of the platform’s most‑watched titles worldwide, reflecting Netflix’s strategy to expand its slate of Korean productions and web‑toon adaptations.
