PRIME Video has unveiled the latest highly anticipated suspense thriller series, The Killing Vote. Produced by Pan Entertainment and Studio S and broadcast by SBS, this gripping show will be available on Prime Video in Malaysia and over 240 countries and territories worldwide, starting on Aug 10.
Viewers can expect an adrenaline-pumping experience as the first two episodes of this 12-part series premiere on the same day, followed by a weekly release every Thursday. Drawing inspiration from the popular webtoon of the same name, The Killing Vote delves into the depths of justice, centering around a nationwide vote on the death penalty for heinous criminals.
At the heart of the story lies a mysterious figure who executes the verdicts based on the voting results while a determined group of police officers relentlessly pursues them.
A fortuitous collaboration

Portraying Kwon Seok-joo, a man serving a prison sentence after avenging his daughter’s assault, is Park Sung-woong, who wowed audiences in Unlock My Boss.
