When is The Glory Netflix release date?

Filming lasted longer than expected, so we originally didn’t expect to see The Glory arrive on Netflix before the end of 2022.

All eight episodes of Part 1 will be available to stream upon release.

After years of plotting, Moon Don Eun begins her revenge plan against her former bullies and the students who stood by and let it happen.
