The Promised Neverland
On Fuji TV
A tense psychological thriller about children discovering their orphanage is a death trap, built on sustained dread, strategic problem-solving, and the bonds forged under existential threat.
Emma, Norman and Ray are the brightest kids at the Grace Field House orphanage. And under the care of the woman they refer to as “Mom,” all the kids have enjoyed a comfortable life. Good food, clean clothes and the perfect environment to learn—what more could an orphan ask for? One day, though, Emma and Norman uncover the dark truth of the outside world they are forbidden from seeing.
