Butterfly, a character-driven spy thriller that explores complex family dynamics within the treacherous world of global espionage, is coming to Prime Video. It’s adapted from BOOM! Studios’ graphic novels created by Arash Amel.
The series follows David Jung (Daniel Dae Kim), an enigmatic, highly unpredictable former U.S. intelligence operative living in South Korea, whose life is blown to pieces when the consequences of an impossible decision from his past come back to haunt him. He finds himself pursued by Rebecca (Reina Hardesty), a deadly, sociopathic young agent assigned to kill him, and Caddis, the sinister spy organization where she works.
