Hulu has set the US premiere date for Gannibal, its new Japanese Original horror miniseries. Check out the trailer.
Based on the hit manga series by Ninomiya Masaaki, this live-action adaptation follows police officer Daigo Agawa, who, after causing a major incident, takes his wife, Yuki, and daughter, Mashiro, to live in the remote mountain village of Kuge. It seems like the perfect place for the family to recover from the ordeal, despite the mysterious disappearance of an officer who was previously posted there.
The village thrives on forestry, with the residents making their living from cypress timber. In charge of this whole operation is the Goto family, who own most of the village. One day, the body of an old woman is found on the mountain. The Goto family says she was attacked by a bear, but Daigo notices a human bite mark on the arm — leading him to suspect that something is not quite right with the village and the people who live here…
Gannibal premieres Wednesday, December 28, exclusively on Hulu in the US and on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar globally.
The cast of the two-part miniseries includes Yuya Yagira (Asakusa Kid, Nobody Knows), Shô Kasamatsu (Tokyo Vice, Love You as the World Ends), and Riho Yoshioka (The Romance Manga Artist, Fukushima 50).
