When a demon is sent to earth with a mission to bring people back to hell, it possesses a local judge to achieve its goal in The Judge From Hell, a new romantic Korean crime drama debuting 21 September on Disney+.

The upcoming series will follow Bitna, a problematic judge known for dishing out light sentences to defendants. Widely criticized for her leniency, the public are unaware that Bitna has been possessed by a demon sent to earth to drag 10 criminals back to hell. Determined and seemingly unstoppable, things take a turn for Bitna when she begins to develop feelings for detective Daon. Will the demon be able to complete her mission or give it all up for the detective of her dreams?

Starring Park Shinhye (Doctor Slump, Sisyphus: The Myth) as possessed judge Bitna; Kim Jaeyeong (Love in Contract, Reflection of You) as detective Daon, The Judge From Hell is written by Jo Isu (The Hymn of Death) and directed by Park Jinpyo (Brave Citizen, Love Forecast).
