What Is Black Knight About?

Set in a deserted wasteland version of Seoul in 2071, “Black Knight” explores a post-apocalyptic world after a comet collides with Earth. The catastrophic event left the city with extremely low air quality, forcing the remaining 1% of the world’s population to wear respirators and come up with new ideas to maintain oxygen levels. Deliverymen who distributed survival supplies to people in need were the heroes of the story, particularly the highly-skilled rider, 5-8. Throughout the series, social and political conflicts arise between the refugees and the elites, forcing riders to take desperate measures to maintain order in the dystopian world.

“Black Knight” premiered on May 12 on Netflix with six episodes and an average running time of 48 minutes.
