Korean content is having its moment, but Pyramid Game will be the only title from the country at next month’s Series Mania.
The series will have its European premiere in Series Mania’s ‘Special Screenings’ section. Pyramid Game is set to premiere on Tving in Korea on February 29 and later this year on Paramount+ globally.
The series depicts a brutal survival game at Baekyeon Girls High School, where students are divided into attackers, victims, and bystanders and gradually descend into the violence of survival. Pyramid Game is based on the Naver webtoon of the same name, which was created by Dalgonyak.
Last year, another Korean school-based thriller, Duty After School, was also invited to Series Mania.
Directed by Bak So-yeon, Pyramid Game will star Kim Ji-yeon, Jang Da-a, Ryu Da-in, Shin Seul-ki, Kang Na-eon, Jeong Ha-dam, and Yulli.A.

Choi Jeong-min, in his fourth feature, tries to fill this gap with a film that aims at presenting the phenomenon as realistically as possible, although retaining its dramatic premise from beginning to end.
Myeong-seon defected from North Korea with blind, elderly Sin-taek, the leader of the Hwashin Church who worship the God of Light and insist that they can resurrect dead people. Myeong-seon is actually in with Sin-take for this reason, since her son died a while ago and she believes the man can resurrect him.
