Returning to the small screen, Song Seung Heon is all set for Black Knight which previously announced Kim Woo Bin and Esom in the main leads.
Taking a futuristic concept, Black Knight threads on the premise of an air polluted world in 2071, where people depend on respirator masks to breathe. Only one percent of the human race has survived and a strict social stratification has been established in the deserted lands of the Korean Peninsula.
In the set fictional world, delivery drivers play a crucial role within this system, and for refugees, becoming a delivery driver is their only hope for survival.
Black Knight is based on the popular webtoon of the same title that won the E-IP Award at the Asian Film Market — an event connecting web drama, web novel, webtoon, story creators to entertainment industry specialists who can revamp them into different formats.
The story garnered attention for its creative premise, which reimagines a familiar profession, in this case, Delivery Drivers, into a unique group responsible for the survival of the human race.

Previously, Song worked on dramas Voice 4, Dinnermate and The Great Show.
Black Knight will be released to audiences around the world, only on Netflix.
