Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite may be coming to HBO as an English-language limited series.
Joon Ho and producer-director Adam McKay are currently in talks with HBO to adapt the movie for television as a limited series, according to The Hollywood Reporter, though nothing has been finalized. Netflix reportedly attempted to secure the rights to Parasite as well, but the streaming giant was ultimately outbid by HBO.

The limited series could come to HBO as a complement to Parasite, a straightforward English adaptation of the 2019 film, or something else entirely; “creative details” are still being ironed out, according to THR.
Parasite was the 2019 winner of the Palme d’Or, the top prize awarded at Cannes. It recently took home the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language. IGN also named it the best movie of 2019 and one of the best movies of the decade.
Our Parasite review awarded the film a 9.5, calling it a “stellar dark comedy about class warfare.”
