What happens

The Wonderfools (Korean: 원더풀스) is a 2026 South Korean superhero comedy action adventure television series created by Kang Eun-kyung, written by Heo Da-joong, directed by Yoo In-shik, and starring Park Eun-bin, Cha Eun-woo, Kim Hae-sook, Choi Dae-hoon, Im Seong-jae, and Son Hyun-joo. The series focuses on the experiences of "flawed superhumans", who are unable to control their abilities and end up using them unintentionally. The series entered development as early as 2018 under the working title The B-Team and was originally conceived as an adaptation of an original story idea by Stan Lee, before transitioning into a completely new original story. Co-produced by Kakao Entertainment and Fantagio, principal photography took place from October 2024 to May 2025. It was released globally on Netflix on May 15, 2026. The Wonderfools received generally positive reviews for its warm-hearted humanism, late-1990s nostalgia, and cast performances. Commercially, the series debuted at number six on Netflix's Global Top 10 Non-English Shows chart after three days of tracking and ranked eighth among Nielsen's most-watched streaming originals in the United States during its first full week of availability, becoming the only non-English-language series in the Top 10.
