Netflix said Wednesday it will produce the new Korean original series “Glitch.”

“Gin Han-sai, the writer of popular Netflix original series 'Extracurricular,' and its production team Studio 329 will team up again for a new production,” the streaming giant said.

“Extracurricular,” a 10-episode thriller-drama unveiled in April, is the ninth most-watched Korean show on Netflix this year. It features Kim Dong-hee and Jung Da-bin.

“Glitch” revolves around Hong Ji-hyo, who attempts to find her missing boyfriend with the help of members of a UFO club.

Netflix said that in 'Glitch,' Gin unravels an intriguing and intense story about UFO club members pursuing those who have disappeared into a mysterious light beam.

“Their special quest, which seems preposterous to society at large, is told within the framework of a suspenseful comic thriller,” it said.

The company has not yet revealed details of the new series' cast or the release date.
