Upcoming spy-thriller series – Butterfly, is set to launch on August 13, 2025. Streaming exclusively on a leading OTT platform, the six-episode series stars and is executive produced by Daniel Dae Kim, known for his standout roles in Lost, Hawaii Five-O, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Butterfly is based on the critically acclaimed graphic novel series by BOOM! Studios, created by Arash Amel. With a gripping plot and intense character arcs, the show promises to bring both action and psychological tension to the screen.
Daniel Dae Kim plays a former U.S. intelligence operative whose life takes a dark turn when ghosts from his past resurface. What starts as a quiet life quickly unravels into a dangerous game of deception and survival. The narrative explores the blurred lines between loyalty and betrayal, while diving deep into the emotional toll of a spy’s double life.
Joining Kim are a stellar ensemble of series regulars including:
- Reina Hardesty (The Secret Art of Human Flight),
- Piper Perabo (Yellowstone, Billions, The Big Leap),
- Louis Landau (Rivals).
Their characters form the core of this high-stakes world, filled with shifting alliances, hidden motives, and intense confrontations.
Unlike typical action thrillers, Butterfly focuses not only on external threats but also on internal conflict. Each episode peels back layers of the main character’s psyche while delivering nail-biting tension and twists. The show’s visual style, rooted in its graphic novel origin, adds a cinematic quality to the storytelling.
In a move that will please binge-watchers, Butterfly will premiere all six episodes on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. Fans of spy fiction, graphic novel adaptations, and gripping drama series should add this one to their watchlist.
