Watch: Daniel Dae Kim stars in Korean-American thriller 'Butterfly'
A trailer released Monday shows David Jung (Kim) approaching his daughter Rebecca (Hardesty).
"You can't keep living this life," he says as the trailer begins. "At some point you start to lose yourself. That's why I came back for you."
Rebecca points a gun at David, recognizing the man she'd been assigned to kill as her father, whom she thought was dead.
"You let me grow up thinking that you'd been killed," she says as the preview continues.
He insists that his disappearance was for his young daughter's protection.
The series is based on Arash Amel's graphic novel series, and also stars Piper Perabo, Louis Landau, Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-soo, Kim Tae-hee, Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake, Nayoon Kim, Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa.
"Butterfly is the realization of a longtime dream to bring together American and Korean storytellers and create a show that bridges two cultures that I love deeply. I couldn't be happier with the creative team we've assembled, both in front of and behind the camera," said Kim, who also executive produces, in a statement.

Here's how ‘The Studio' scored a record 23 Emmy nominations
If The Studio were an actual Hollywood studio, it outperformed some real studios this morning. The critically acclaimed Apple TV+ satire earned an impressive 23 Emmy nominations, the most of any comedy series this season. The previous record for a comedy series in its first year is 20 nominations, which was set by Ted Lasso in 2021. As predicted by Gold Derby, the series was nominated for Best Comedy Series, where it has long been a front-runner. It will compete for the title alongside Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking, and What We Do in the Shadows. More from Gold Derby All the snubs (Selena Gomez, 'Squid Game') and surprises (Uzo Aduba, 'Survivor') at the 2025 Emmy nominations 'Andor' scored 14 Emmy nominations, but missed 1 major category Multihyphenate Seth Rogen earned his first lead actor in a comedy nomination; he was previously nominated for supporting actor for Hulu's Pam & Tommy. He was also nominated for writing and directing for his work on The Studio. This brings his Emmy nomination total to eight over the course of his career; he was previously nominated for his producing work on Pam & Tommy as well as Prime VIdeo's The Boys. Yes, Sal Saperstein can get to say thank you — Ike Barinholtz can count himself among this year's first-time Emmy nominees for his hilarious turn as the obsequious studio executive. The category includes returning champion The Bear star Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Colman Domingo (The Four Seasons), Harrison Ford and Michael Urie (both from Shrinking), Jeff Hiller (Somebody Somewhere), and Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live). Emmys darling Catherine O'Hara added to her collection; the Schitt's Creek star now has 10 total nominations, along with two wins (she's also nominated this year for her guest turn on The Last of Us). Also nommed is her costar Kathryn Hahn, who played the label-obsessed head of marketing. They'll vie for the title against Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear), Hannah Einbinder (Hacks), Janelle James and Sheryl Lee Ralph (both from Abbott Elementary), and Jessica Williams (Abbott Elementary). As expected, the show overdelivered with guest acting nominations, given the stellar cameos — it nearly swept the category. Bryan Cranston, Dave Franco, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie, and Martin Scorsese are all on the ballot — their non-Studio competition is The Bear's Jon Bernthal. Zoë Kravitz made the cut for her drug-addled turn on The Studio, making it a total of 10 actors from the cast, which was nominated in every eligible category (no one was submitted for lead actress). She'll compete against The Bear's stars Olivia Colman and Jamie Lee Curtis, Hacks' Robby Hoffman and Julianne Nicholson, and Poker Face's Cynthia Erivo. Rogen was also nominated for writing and directing, alongside cocreator Evan Goldberg, for standout episodes "The Promotion" (writing) and "The Oner" (directing). Playing it safe — and strategic — The Studio had submitted just one episode for writing, penned by Rogen, Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez, and just one for directing. Television Academy voters also overwhelmingly endorsed the intentionally retro look and feel of the show, awarding it with a sweep of below-the-line nominations as well, with nods for production design, cinematography, casting, costumes, hairstyling, music composition, music supervision, sound editing, and sound mixing.

The Summer I Turned Pretty S3 Ages: The Cast vs the Characters
It's finally back! After two years away, and a lot of impatient waiting on our part, the third and final (sobs) season of The Summer I Turned Pretty premieres tomorrow (July 16). The first two episodes of the third season will land on Prime Video tomorrow (or, technically, tonight at midnight), and as part of the new episodes we can expect to see a time jump of four years. Yes that's right, Belly has left high school behind and is heading towards the end of her college experience. Steven and Conrad are already in the world of work, and if the books by Jenny Han the show is based on are anything to go by, we could be hearing wedding bells by the end of the season. Honestly, they grow up so fast. And with the four year time jump it also means the cast are a lot closer in age to the characters they play. Intrigued to know more? Here's the main cast's ages versus the characters they play following the four year time jump.

Watch: KJ Apa, Madelyn Cline star in rom-com 'Map That Leads to You'
July 15 (UPI) -- Outer Banks actress Madelyn Cline and Riverdale actor KJ Apa star in the new romantic comedy The Map That Leads to You. Prime Video released a trailer for the film, which arrives on the streamer Aug. 20, Tuesday. The teaser shows Jack (Apa) and Heather (Cline) meeting on a train and connecting instantly. Heather is traveling Europe with her friends, while Jack allows his grandfather's journal to dictate his next destination. His go-with-the-flow persona "kind of stresses" out Heather, who declares that she prefers "to know what's next." "As secrets and life choices test their bond, her path changes forever," an official synopsis reads. The film takes its inspiration from the J.P. Monniger novel and is directed by Lasse Hallstrom, well known for working on Dear John. Madison Thompson, Sofia Wylie and Orlando Norman also star.
