All ten episodes will premiere on Thursday, February 1, on Paramount+ in the U.S., the UK, Canada, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
In A Bloody Lucky Day, Oh Taek is a down-on-his-luck taxi driver who has 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.
A Bloody Lucky Day stars actors Lee Sung-min (Reborn Rich) as Oh Taek, Yoo Yeon-seok (Narco-Saints) as Geum Hyuk-soo, and Lee Jung-eun (Parasite) as Hwang Soon-gyu, and is based on the Naver Webtoon A Day of Bad Luck by Aporia.
The ten-episode series is directed by Pil Gam-seong (Hostage: Missing Celebrity) and written by Kim Min-sung and Song Han-na.
Following the critical success of 2023’s award-winning title Bargain, A Bloody Lucky Day is the next project developed by Paramount+ and TVING through a partnership between Paramount and the Korean entertainment powerhouse CJ ENM.
In Korea, Paramount+ is a branded zone within TVING, a CJ ENM-controlled streaming platform with current operations in Korea.
The deal also allows Korean content to flow to Paramount‘s overseas streaming operations. A Bloody Lucky Day is produced by CJ ENM’s production house Studio Dragon, The Great Show, and Studio N.
The series is licensed by Paramount Global Content Distribution in select international markets.
