Directed by esteemed Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho, the TV series will be available to stream on Netflix on November 19 this year.

As towering creatures terrorise the city it is the race and battle for survival, much like the Squid Game.

As people hear predictions of when they will die - when that time comes the Death Angel appears and kills them.

The supernatural element of Hellbound distinguishes it from the widely popular Squid Game, where all the horror there is human inflicted.

The series will focus on a church that believes the Death Angels are divine, and various characters aim to expose the church's cult-like leader.

Hellbound was the first Korean drama to ever play at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The show is based on the Korean webtoon called Hell, created by the director. A teaser trailer for the six-part series can be viewed here:
