Award-winning actor Jo Jin-woong joins former "Running Man" host Lee Kwang-soo and Taiwanese star Greg Hsu in Disney+'s Korean action thriller series "No Way Out: The Roulette," set to premiere on the platform on July 31.

The show revolves around Kim Guk-ho, who is released on parole after serving 13 years for committing a series of heinous crimes, Disney said in a press release.

Outraged by Guk-ho's release, a mysterious citizen offers a ₩20 billion ($14 million) bounty to anyone who can track down and kill the notorious criminal.

Targeted by a growing number of desperate citizens, Guk-ho will have to put his faith in his police protection team if he hopes to survive.

In the series, Jin-woong, known for his award-winning performances at the prestigious Bakesang Arts Awards and Blue Dragon Film Awards for his role in the film "A Hard Day," portrays Baek Joong-sik, the police officer assigned to protect Guk-ho.

The despised Guk-ho will be brought to life by Yoo Jae-myung, whose past series include "Reply 1988" and "Itaewon Class."

The cast also includes Kim Mu-yeol ("Sweet Home"), Yum Jung-ah ("Sky Castle"), Sung Yu-been ("Mr. Sunshine"), Greg Hsu ("Marry My Dead Body"), Lee Kwang-soo, and Kim Sung-cheol ("Our Beloved Summer").
