Beloved Police Squad Returns in “GG Precinct,” a Netflix Spin-Off of “Marry My Dead Body”

Following the box office triumph of “Marry My Dead Body” in 2023, the endearing police squad is back in action with a spin-off series, “GG Precinct.” Debuting on Netflix on August 22nd, the series is directed by the acclaimed duo of Cheng Wei-hao (“Marry My Dead Body”) and Yin Chen-hao (“Man in Love”), and offers six episodes that blend irreverent humor with captivating murder mysteries.

The story picks up after the events of “Marry My Dead Body,” where Detective Wu Ming-han (Hsu Kuang-han) helped his deceased husband, Mao Mao, find peace. Ming-han, known for his brash and cocky attitude, returns to the precinct alongside his loyal partner, Chubby (Flower Chen). “While this is a spin-off, it felt more like a reunion,” Hsu shared about reuniting with the cast. “There’s a stronger sense of camaraderie this time around.”

Gingle Wang also reprises her role as Officer Lin Tzu-ching. In the prequel, Tzu-ching served as a mole for a mobster, betraying the squad. However, her actions stemmed from a desire to avenge her mother’s wrongful death. “Tzu-ching is happy to be back and grateful for the warm welcome,” Wang explained.

Producer Jin Pai-lunn discussed the origins of the series: “We noticed the amazing chemistry between the quirky cops while filming ‘Marry My Dead Body.’ Their dynamic, despite not always being the most skilled detectives, was fascinating. We knew we had to expand this universe, and luckily, we were able to start filming before the movie’s premiere.”

“GG Precinct” is a one-of-a-kind crime-comedy series that builds upon the success of “Marry My Dead Body,” Taiwan’s official selection for the 2024 Academy Awards. Don’t miss the return of the GG Precinct’s motley crew for more mind-bending and hilarious criminal investigations, coming to Netflix on August 22nd.
