Amazon will carry the Japanese reboot of God's Quiz worldwide, with all territories drawing the same December 4 date. The original Korean drama starred Ryu Deok-hwan and became known there for the phrase "God's Quiz addiction," and the remake keeps the cause-of-death premise while moving the story from Korea to modern-day Tokyo. Mamiya plays Haruto Hatsushima, a former brain surgeon called a "genius chosen by God" who now works as a medical examiner at the National Forensic Autopsy Center, where he works backward from bodies to rare diseases and hidden causes of death.
