One of the most anticipated Korean dramas of the year, Newtopia, is now available for streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video for fans of K-dramas. Like many K-dramas, Newtopia will consist of eight episodes. In contrast to Korean broadcast dramas, which typically consist of 16–22 episodes, streaming platform productions typically have shorter seasons.
This condensed format probably appeals to those who prefer binge-watching because it’s simpler to watch all at once. Fans will be able to fully immerse themselves in the zombie K-drama because each episode will last roughly an hour.
Where to Watch
While viewers worldwide, including those in India, may access the most recent episode of Newtopia on Amazon Prime Video beginning at 4:30 PM IST, South Korean fans can watch it on Coupang Play tonight at 22:00 KST.
On Friday, March 21, 2025, at 20:00 KST (06:00 ET), the series finale will air. The remaining six will debut on Prime Video once a week after the first two episodes are released. Neither the show’s ending nor the prospect of a second season have been formally announced as of yet.
