Black Knight Plot/Synopsis
The official Netflix’s description for this upcoming release reads: “In a dystopian future devastated by air pollution, the survival of humanity depends on the Black Knights — and they’re far from your average deliverymen.”
The trailer for the kdrama describes how the Korean peninsula has turned into a desert with only 1% of the human population surviving. In this situation, with the air pollution rising and oxygen levels dropping every moment, the delivery men are the ones letting people live by delivering oxygen to the people there but, the task only gets difficult with time.
Black Knight Release Date and More
The series is scheduled to arrive on Netflix on May 12 2023.

Like most kdramas, the show will either have 16 one-hour episodes or 32 episodes with a 30-minute runtime. Till now, nothing has been confirmed in regard to that.
