What awaits us in Copycat Killer?

Due to the widespread interest in the case, the mediagenic serial killer has turned his murders into a national spectacle. Even so much that gossip and notoriety are circulating. Wu Kang-ren plays a prosecutor who promises to solve the case. But he soon realizes that things are not what they seem… Meanwhile, the killer repeatedly mocks law and order as he tries to destroy peace and order in society.

Late denouement in the season

Besides Wu Kang-ren, the other main roles are played by Alice Ko, Tuo Tsung-hua, Yao Chun-yao, Fandy Fan, Cammy Chiang and Hsia Teng-Hung. The upcoming Netflix series is based on the novel of the same name by Japanese writer Miyuki Miyabe. Wu Kang-ren hints at a belated denouement as, according to the protagonist, we have to wait until the end of the series to find out who it is.

Genre series are fascinating because you don’t find out who the killer is until the very end. Each character is connected by hidden threads, which unravel throughout the story. In the same way, I follow my character in exploring these threads, gradually creating a beautiful web of connections. I look forward to taking viewers on the journey to discover the masterful storytelling behind each thread.
