A taxi's driver's lucky day will take a turn for the worse when the new South Korean thriller series A Bloody Lucky Day drops on Paramount+ next month. Starring Reborn Rich's Lee Sung-min and Narco-Saints star Yoo Yeon-seok, the upcoming serial killer series is set to premiere on the streaming service on Thursday, Feb. 1, with Paramount+ dropping the official trailer Wednesday.

Marking the next developed by Paramount+ and TVING through a partnership between Paramount and the Korean entertainment group CJ ENM following the critical success of 2023's award-winning series Bargain, A Bloody Lucky Day centers around Sung-min's Oh Taek, "a down-on-his-luck taxi driver having an uncharacteristic streak of good fortune when he agrees to drive a mysterious man named Geum Hyuk-soo to a faraway city in exchange for an exorbitant fare. But when the passenger reveals himself to be a serial killer, confessing to grisly crimes in his past and murdering others on the highway, the taxi driver must play mind games to ensure his lucky streak doesn't come to a deadly end."

Based on the webtoon of the same name published on Naver by Aporia, A Bloody Lucky Day also stars Parasite's Lee Jung-eun as Hwang Soon-gyu, a mother hunting down Hyuk-soo after he killed her son. The series is directed by Pil Gam-seong with Kim Min-sung and Song Han-na penning the scripts.
