The Devil’s Plan: Death Room - Cast and plot

Netflix teased the upcoming release of The Devil’s Plan: Death Room with a trailer, offering a glimpse into the fierce mental battles ahead. One of the most intriguing revelations is the transformation of the season 1 prison into a prison wing, signaling a deeper narrative and structural change.

The production team revealed that the prison wing will not simply serve as a punishment zone— it will introduce a “class” element that intensifies both cooperation and competition. Players in the prison wing will form temporary alliances to take down those in the more privileged “living wing,” but they must eventually turn on one another to survive and advance.

A major twist hinted at in the teaser is a 7:7 structure, which has sparked speculation about possible team-based battles or death matches. Snippets of interactions between players suggest mounting tension and distrust.

For instance, Justin H. Min is seen playfully questioning someone’s loyalty, while Jeong Hyungyu becomes visibly cautious, and Kim Ha-rin makes a chilling declaration, saying she must eliminate everyone—foreshadowing intense psychological warfare ahead.

The confirmed cast includes Go champion Lee Sedol, Korean-American actor Justin H. Min, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, former KARA member Kang Jiyoung, actress Yoon So-hee, YouTuber Seven High, actor Lee Seunghyun, comedian Jung Hyungyu, singer Choi Hyunjun, and content creators Chu, Kim Ha-rin, Park Sang-yeon, Son Eun-yu, and Tino.
