What happens in the Night Tales Club trailer?
The trailer opens with an overview of a warehouse-like place as the lights go out across the city. Suddenly, a man is heard screaming, and audiences are offered a first look at Hojo. The trailer shifts to Hojo filming a video, where he conveys that he is offering a reward of 20 million yen in gold to anyone who can provide legitimate, proven evidence of these anomalies known as bugs.
However, there are three main conditions to claim the reward. First, the reports must be verified facts without any lies. Secondly, a real victim must be involved. Finally, the claim should come with unique physical evidence.
The Night Tales Club will be a six-episode series, with each episode offering a different story. But, Takayuki Yamada will play Hojo throughout the series. The directors of the upcoming Disney+ show include Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Takashi Shimizu, Shinzo Katayama, Yukiko Sode, Yuichiro Sakashita, Yosuke Nakamura, and Kenji Nakajima.
Yusuke Wakabayashi and Teruhisa Yamamoto serve as the producers, with the original writer, Sawamura, as the screenwriter. Although the release window for the upcoming Japanese horror show has been set, an official release date has not been provided yet.
