About Train to Busan
Train to Busan from 2016 follows Seok-woo and Su-an on a speeding train as zombies spread across Korea. Seoul Station from 2016 is an adult animated prequel showing the outbreak onset around the station. Peninsula from 2020 jumps four years ahead to a wasteland rescue with new leads.
Watch Train to Busan first, then Seoul Station as a prequel flash, then Peninsula. Release order keeps the train reveals intact, since the prequel assumes you know the virus rules. A Peninsula sequel and a US spin-off are discussed with no dates, plus a 2026 remaster run.
Good to know
Chronological order runs Seoul Station, then Train to Busan, then Peninsula, which suits a rewatch once the rules are set. Peninsula shares the world but not the train cast, so it plays as a side sequel. Treat the 2020 film as the latest story rather than a finale until the next Korean entry actually shoots.
