Is there a trailer for Badland Hunters?

On January 12, Netflix released a trailer for Badland Hunters. The teaser begins in a survivor camp, where the strong prey on the weak to survive. While butchering his hunt of the day, Nam-san witnesses a group of survivors beating up a man, sending him into a rage as he goes to teach them a lesson.

He is later approached by a woman who tells him of the mysterious doctor, hoping to enlist Nam-san’s help to track him down. Although some hail the doctor as humanity’s last hope, there seems to be a sinister side to him, as he performs experiments on unwilling participants.

As Nam-san and his friends fight their way to rescuing a teenager from the doctor, they began to realise that some of their enemies are not quite human.
