\u201cYou are going straight to hell.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The chilling line comes from fortuneteller Kazuko Hosoki, played by <\/span>Erika Toda<\/span>, in the newly unveiled main trailer of the upcoming Netflix series “<\/span>Straight to Hell<\/strong>“<\/span>. As Hosoki dominates Japan\u2019s TV screens and grips the nation with her brutal predictions, writer Minori Uozumi (<\/span>Sairi Ito<\/span>) watches in fascination \u2014 and makes a bold declaration: she\u2019ll take the life Hosoki has led so far and turn it into a book.<\/span><\/p>\n

With that, the story begins to unravel how this extraordinary figure known as \u201cKazuko Hosoki\u201d was created, and the brutal reality of the life she led. The main trailer also offers a closer look at <\/span>Toma Ikuta<\/span> as Masaya Hotta, one of the men who toy with Hosoki’s destiny, and <\/span>Toko Miura<\/span> as legendary Showa-era singer Chiyoko Shimakura.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/ins>\n

Having lost everything in the war, a young Hosoki survives a harrowing childhood marked by extreme hunger, forced to eat even earthworms just to stay alive. From there, she claws her way up as a Ginza hostess and, while still young, rises to rule the nightlife as a \u201cqueen.\u201d Then comes another low point in her life, where she loses everything and falls to her rock bottom \u2014 before launching a ferocious ascent to the very top, using men and women alike, lies and desire, anything and everything as her tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Straight<\/p>\n

Hosoki\u2019s life can feel dangerously seductive: at times overwhelmingly alluring, at others, like a slow, irresistible pull that corrodes everyone around her. Minori is one of those drawn in. Commissioned to ghostwrite Hosoki\u2019s autobiographical novel, she begins spending her days interviewing Hosoki face-to-face. Under the spell of Hosoki\u2019s hypnotic storytelling and razor-sharp insight that seems to see right through people\u2019s hearts, Minori finds herself pulled deeper into her world.<\/span><\/p>\n

But one day, something shifts. Minori begins to question everything she had believed up to that point. When she finally confronts \u201cKazuko Hosoki\u201d, the polished persona and the buried truths that build this woman\u2019s life are at last laid bare.<\/span><\/p>\n

A fortuneteller who seized people\u2019s hearts, enjoyed unrivaled popularity, and amassed staggering wealth \u2014 Kazuko Hosoki\u2019s life was painted in jet black. Now, <\/span>Straight to Hell<\/span> drags that hidden past into the light.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Straight to Hell<\/strong>” <\/span>premieres April 27, only on Netflix.<\/span><\/p>\n
