What time does Space Sweepers release on Netflix?

This highly anticipated South Korean film is slated to release on Friday, January 5, 2021. The movie will be available in several regions of the world including India. Space Sweepers is being marketed as Korea's take on Interstellar and with 'A Werewolf Boy' director Jo Sung-hee leading the team, the movie has definitely had netizens waiting with high expectations.

The movie is set in 2092 when the Earth is no longer habitable and humanity has no option but to expand into the outer space.

Although the movie has seen a lot of push-and-pull in terms of its release, with the initial Space Sweepers release date slated to be on the auspicious Chuseok holidays i.e. August of 2020, Netflix almost immediately came to the rescue by offering to take the distribution rights.
