Disney+, Hulu Set July Premiere for Korean Treasure-Hunt Drama ‘Low Life'
Ryu Seung-ryong, the veteran Korean star whose lead performance in Disney+'s Moving helped make it the platform's most-watched Asian original to date, returns to the streamer next month in Low Life, a colorful period crime drama set against the backdrop of 1970s South Korea's murky underworld. The 11-part series will premiere July 16 with a three-episode debut, followed by weekly releases leading up to a two-part finale on August 13. Low Life will launch internationally on Disney+ and domestically on Hulu as a Hulu Original. Written and directed by Kang Yun-seong, the screenwriter behind Disney+'s Big Bet and director of Korean blockbuster The Outlaws, Low Life follows a ragtag pair of small-time schemers — an uncle and nephew— who stumble across a tantalizing rumor: a sunken treasure ship laden with riches has been found just off the Korean coast. With dreams of finally striking it rich, the duo plunges headfirst into a cutthroat race against rival fortune-seekers, opportunists and underworld figures.

The cast also includes Im Soo-jung (Melancholia, Single in Seoul) as Yang Jungsook, the matriarch of Hongbaek Industries, whose own ambitions complicate the treasure hunt. Low Life marks the latest addition to Disney+'s expanding slate of high-end Korean originals, following buzzy titles like Hyper Knife and Nine Puzzles, the latter of which is the platform's most-watched Korean drama of 2025. Later this year, Disney+ will debut other star-driven Korean projects, including Tempest, featuring Gianna Jun, Gang Dongwon and John Cho, and Made in Korea, headlined by Hyun Bin and Jung Woosung. The series reflects Disney's ongoing strategy to deepen its Asia-Pacific originals catalog with prestige Korean dramas that blend genre hooks with local period detail and star power. With Low Life, the streamer appears to be leaning into retro noir stylings and anti-hero dynamics, aiming to replicate the international appeal of Big Bet and Narco-Saints.

Aviva Studios crowd BOUNCING as Gary Neville performs with The Reytons
Manchester United legend Gary Neville took the stage in an electric performance with The Reytons last night. The 50-year-old former England defender bounced around the Aviva Studios stage as he thrashed his guitar on Saturday (March 9). Gary jokingly agreed to step in for injured Reytons bass player Lee Holland last September - despite admitting he had never played the instrument.

Gary lived up to his promise as the band performed Low Life, with the Sky Sports pundit thrilling fans in a raucous performance. Manchester Evening News reviewer Aidan McCartney captured the moment Gary delighted the bouncing crowd at last night's Reytons show. He gave the Rotherham rockers a four-star review, praising a 'blistering set' from a band who are 'built on proving people wrong'. The Reytons will return to the North West with a headline show at Neighbourhood Weekender in Warrington in May. Gary, meanwhile, will be back to the day job with Sky Sports for Manchester United v Arsenal today.
