Train to Busan took the world by storm when the zombie horror hit debuted in 2016, spawning an animated prequel from director Yeon Sang-ho and the inevitable English-language remake. Now it seems like it will spawn a bonafide horror franchise over in South Korea, with Yeon directing a Train to Busan follow-up called Peninsula. But unlike many horror follow-ups, this won’t be a direct sequel. Brought the news about Peninsula, a film follow-up that won’t act as a sequel to his 2016 horror hit, but “happens in the same universe.” “Peninsula is not a sequel to Train To Busan because it’s not a continuation of the story, but it happens in the same universe,” Yeon told the outlet, which has the basic synopsis for the film:

Peninsula takes place four years after the outbreak of zombies that were chasing protagonists on a train speeding south to Busan. The Korean peninsula is devastated and Jung-seok, a former soldier who has managed to escape overseas, is given a mission to go back and unexpectedly meets up with survivors.
