Here is the cast and character guide for Butterfly Season 1
As mentioned, Butterfly has four primary characters, and at the center there is David Jung, a former US intelligence officer. He has come to South Korea to leave his violent past behind and live a peaceful life, but when an old case resurfaces, he is dragged back to his old job.
Daniel Dae Kim as David Jung
David, a former US intelligence officer, is determined to live a quiet life in South Korea, but when a name surfaces from an old case, he realizes that the most devastating threat isn't some foreign enemy but someone from within his own bloodline. The show comes up with one of the shocking twists when his estranged daughter reappears in his life, not to mend their relationship but to kill him. This is how David is again forced back into the world of international espionage.
Daniel is known for his iconic roles in Hawaii Five-O, Lost, and Avatar. This American actor has experience in playing action-packed scenes and has a Taekwondo black belt, which will really show in Butterfly.
Reina Hardesty as Rebecca Jung
Reina Hardesty plays Rebecca Jung, David’s estranged daughter. Portrayed as fiercely independent yet unknowingly tangled in the web of her father's hidden past. Rebecca's journey is crucial as she becomes the biggest threat to David. Her revenge is rooted in betrayal, trust, and the complexities within the family amidst espionage.
Hardesty is popular for her role in The CW’s The Flash and the psychological horror film It’s What’s Inside. Her character, Rebecca, is a lethal assassin and is working for the private intelligence firm Caddis. The organization has sent her out on a mission to eliminate David Jung, whom she believes abandoned her when she was a child.
Rebecca is trained to be efficient and hardly emotionally attached to anyone, and she sets out on a high-stakes mission. Rebecca’s emotional unraveling becomes one of the show’s driving forces, blurring the lines between mission and morality.
Piper Perabo as Juno
Piper's character Juno in Butterfly is shown to have a complicated history with David. Morgan is shown as a former lawyer and the CEO of the private intelligence firm Caddis. She is the antagonist the show is set to pit against David and the face that threatens the operatives.
Her son also works in the same organization, and she has a strained relationship with him. With his character, the show explored themes such as parental control and generational trauma.
Perabo is best known for Coyote Ugly, Covert Affairs, Cheaper By The Dozen and the popular show, Yellowstone.
Louis Landau as Oliver Barnes
Oliver is Juno's son and an intelligent spy working with Caddis. Being raised in the world of espionage has given him a knack for understanding and solving important missions. He is shown seeking approval and validation from his mother and boss.
Landau is from London and shared credits in the 2024 series Rivals. His portrayal indeed brings emotional subtlety to this complex character.
