Production

In November 2022, it was reported that filming is currently in progress.[13]

In an interview, director Lee Byeong-heon said, "We recently finished filming and will be released on Netflix at the earliest at the end of 2023, or early next year at the latest".[14]

Reception

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 5 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.4/10.[15] Pierce Conran of South China Morning Post wrote that "even among Netflix's growing catalogue of dystopian dramas, twisty thrillers and sci-fi tentpoles, Chicken Nugget stands out, thanks to its saturated colours, heightened tone and absurd sense of humour".[16] Jonathan Wilson of Ready Steady Cut rated it a 3.5/5 and wrote that the series is a "work of sneaky genius".[17] Joel Keller of Decider wrote that the series "is silly as hell, but it promises to be one of those shows where two people go on a crazy adventure" and "just happens to involve a woman who becomes a chicken nugget".[18] Sarah Musnicky of But Why Tho? rated it a 8/10 and wrote it "dials everything up to a ten and then some" and "it is absurdist, comedic fun and spares no expense or time in embracing its quirky energy".[19] Joly Herman of Common Sense Media wrote that "some sinister undertones and the copious use of language makes this show a better choice for older teens" and "fans of irrational sci-fi will appreciate this one the most".[20]

Viewership

Chicken Nugget ranked tenth in Netflix's Global Top 10 TV (Non-English) category for the week of March 18–24, 2024, and received a warm response in seven countries including South Korea.[21]
