Premiere Watch: Duty After School
by missvictrix
Time slot: Friday
Broadcaster: TVING
Genre: Sci-fi, action, thriller, youth
Episode count: 10 (Part 1 + Part 2)
Reasons to watch: If you like your high school dramas with blood, terror, and CGI, Duty After School might be right up your alley. Taking a page from the success of All of Us Are Dead, Duty After School looks at the microcosm of a high school during a worldwide alien invasion. Though the kids are still in school and worried about their education and college specs (huh!?), they’re also conscripted to serve in the military to, you know, save the world. We’ve got a bunch of fresh faces in the cast, the PD from Class of Lies (which is definitely saying something), and the source material was a webtoon by the much-loved author that created The Sound of Magic.
In terms of releasing and streaming schedules, TVING seems to be playing around quite a bit, having taken some cues from Netflix with their other productions. And sure enough, Duty After School will be in two parts, with Part 1 (the first six episodes) releasing March 31 and Part 2 (the concluding four episodes) releasing sometime in April. Or at least, that’s what it looks like they’re going to do.
TL;DR: All of Us Our Dead, alien invasion version?
