Death’s Game

Release Year: 2024, Duration: 1 season (8 episodes), Streaming Service: Amazon Prime

Death’s Game is based on the webtoon of the same name and follows the story of Choi Yee Jae. The young man attempts to take his own life after not finding a job for seven years. Death himself, however, holds nothing of this attitude towards dying and decides to punish Yee Jae with a game.

He now awakens in 12 different lives but must die 12 times in these to eventually end up in hell. At some point, he discovers that he might get another chance in his real life if he survives one of these 12 attempts.
