Prime Video offers a first look at Butterfly, starring Daniel Dae Kim, based on the comic book series from Arash Amel's Boom! Studios.Butterfly is a character-driven espionage thriller that explores the complex family dynamics within the treacherous world of global espionage. At its center is David Jung (Daniel Dae Kim, Lost), an enigmatic, wildly unpredictable former U.S. intelligence officer living in South Korea. His life is shattered when the consequences of an impossible decision from his past come back to haunt him, and he is pursued by Rebecca (Reina Hardesty, Brockmire), a deadly, sociopathic young agent sent to kill him, and Caddis, the sinister spy organization she works for.

Daniel Dae Kim’s production company 3AD developed the series under his first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios. Kitao Sakurai directed the first two episodes.

“Butterfly is the realization of a long-held dream to bring American and Korean storytellers together and create a series that bridges the gap between two cultures that I love dearly,” said Kim. “I couldn’t be happier with the creative team we’ve assembled, both in front of and behind the camera, and I’m grateful to Ken Woodruff, Boom! Studios, 3AD, Amazon and everyone else who helped bring this to life.”

Previously announced returning cast includes Piper Perabo, Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-Soo, Kim Tae-hee, Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake and Nayoon Kim, with former Lost cast member Henry Ian Cusick, Sung Dong-Il and Lee Il-Hwa in guest roles.

The Prime Video spy thriller series premieres all six episodes on Wednesday, August 13.
