About the Series: A Superpowered Comedy Adventure
Netflix’s upcoming series The WONDERFools is set to premiere in the second quarter of 2026. The show is a comic action adventure set in 1999, when apocalyptic theories were rampant. A group of quirky, ordinary neighbors unexpectedly gain superpowers after a strange incident. Together, these unlikely heroes must protect Haeseong City from villains threatening its peace.
The series reunites Park Eun‑bin with director Yoo In‑shik, with whom she previously worked on the global hit Extraordinary Attorney Woo. The cast also includes Cha Eun‑woo, Choi Dae‑hoon, Lim Sung‑jae, Kim Hae‑sook, and Son Hyun‑joo, promising a dynamic ensemble.
