Amazon’s latest spy thriller series titled “Butterfly” featuring an actor previously seen on “Lost”, has announced its release date along with captivating first-look snapshots.

What Butterfly’s New Images Reveal About The Show

The Series Is Promising High-Octane Action

In the upcoming TV series, we follow the story of Kim’s David, an ex-member of an American intelligence agency, now covertly residing in South Korea. At first, he leads a tranquil, hidden existence, but a past choice catches up with him, compelling him to flee from Caddis, a spy organization. To eliminate him, they dispatch a hitman, Rebecca Hardesty, who is hot on his trail. However, photos suggest that David and Rebecca have worked together for a good cause, suggesting that the show’s description might not be entirely accurate.

The other figures in the photos seem to play significant roles, with Perabo appearing to be a figure of authority in some way. One picture hints at David’s life in South Korea, showing him holding hands with a woman who could be significant to him. As the thriller series will have David evading Caddis, it’s likely that many characters will be essential for his escape. However, what other heart-pounding incidents are yet to unfold is still unknown.

A Strong Continuation For Daniel Dae Kim’s Career

Kim has been known to take on significant TV roles, most recently portraying Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar: The Last Airbender. His new role in the series titled “Butterfly” appears to be a natural progression for his career, landing him in a major spy thriller set to release during summer. Given the show’s intricate plot revolving around espionage and suspicion, it seems that Amazon Prime Video might have another exciting addition to its original content library on its way.

Butterfly premieres Wednesday, August 13 on Prime Video.
