“Based on meticulous research, this eight-episode series is a multi-layered drama that depicts the accident from three different perspectives in great detail.

“This is the true story of seven intense days, showing what really happened on that day and at that place from the viewpoints of the government, the corporation, and the people who risked their lives on-site, and in doing so coming closer to the truth.”

‘THE DAYS’ will be developed, written, and produced by Jun Masumoto, and directed by Masaki Nishiura and Hideo Nakata.
