Ryu Jun Yeol is set to headline a new Netflix series.
On April 13th, reports confirmed that the actor has been cast as the lead in Outback (literal title), an upcoming mystery thriller based on the webtoon G’day, originally serialized on Lezhin Comics.
The story follows Shi On, who travels to Australia in search of his missing sister, and Hans, a mysterious man he encounters along the way. Ryu Jun Yeol is expected to take on the role of Hans.
The project is produced by Shortcake, with director Jeon Doo Kwan—known for TVING thriller series Seen—at the helm.
Ryu Jun Yeol is also gearing up for the release of another Netflix series Mousetrap later this year, adding to anticipation for his upcoming slate.

UPDATE:
YTN Star reported on April 14th that Hong Kyung will appear in the upcoming series Outback (literal title).
Ryu Jun Yeol was confirmed to join the cast, and the two actors will be working together for the first time in this project.
Outback is the latest work from Shortcake, the production company behind the popular series Weak Hero. As Hong Kyung gained attention as a lead in Weak Hero Season 1, anticipation is high for his reunion with the studio.
Last year, Hong Kyung stayed active by appearing in the Netflix series Good News and the film Concrete Market. His performance in Good News earned him a nomination for Best Actor at the Baeksang Arts Awards.
