Disney+ has unveiled a striking new poster and teaser trailer for its upcoming original series 'The Hunter with a Scalpel,' set to premiere on June 16. This gripping crime thriller stars Park Joo Hyun, Park Yong Woo, and Kang Hoon, and promises a tense and visceral viewing experience.
'The Hunter with a Scalpel' follows the story of Seo Se Hyeon, a brilliant forensic scientist who discovers evidence during an autopsy that links a recent murder victim to her long-lost father—whom she believed to be dead. As she begins to uncover shocking truths about her past, Se Hyeon embarks on a dangerous mission to find her father before the police do, determined to keep her family's dark secrets buried.
The newly released poster showcases the haunting presence of the three main characters: Park Joo Hyun as Seo Se Hyeon, Park Yong Woo as her psychopathic father Yoon Jo Gyun, and Kang Hoon as detective Jeong Jeong Hyeon. With visuals evocative of a stitched-up corpse, the design captures the show’s intense tone and dark aesthetic.
Park Joo Hyun’s Se Hyeon stares coldly into the distance, exuding a sense of controlled precision. Park Yong Woo, portraying serial killer Yoon Jo Gyun, delivers a chilling expression as he gestures for silence, his smile hiding deadly intentions. Kang Hoon’s Jeong Hyeon brings gravitas as a detective unwavering in his pursuit of justice, his sharp eyes reflecting moral clarity.
The tagline “My father’s murders have started again” adds to the intrigue, hinting at the dangerous and entangled relationships among the three, and the emotionally charged conflicts that lie ahead.
The teaser trailer deepens the suspense, showing Se Hyeon’s growing anxiety as she discovers the corpse on her autopsy table may be linked to her supposedly deceased father. As a new string of murders known as the “tailor murder case” shocks the nation, Detective Jeong Hyeon seeks Se Hyeon’s expertise, only for her to be pulled back into traumatic memories triggered by the evidence.
As the chilling line “It was just like that time. The serial killer dad is back again” flashes on screen, Jo Gyun appears with a devilish smile, escalating the tension. In one heart-pounding moment, Se Hyeon charges at her father with a scalpel, while he chillingly greets her with, “Welcome home, my daughter,” setting the stage for a psychological showdown.
The series explores the complex dynamics between a daughter who escaped a violent past, a father who communicates through killing, and a detective closing in on their dark secret. With its layered characters and disturbing premise, 'The Hunter with a Scalpel' is shaping up to be one of the most compelling thrillers of the year.
Produced as a 16-episode series, 'The Hunter with a Scalpel' will stream exclusively on Disney+ starting June 16, with new episodes released over four weeks.
