Disney+ has announced a November 4 release date for The Remarried Empress, a 10-episode Korean fantasy-romance series featuring an ensemble cast including Shin Min-a, Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Se-young. The streaming platform will roll out the series with an initial four episodes, followed by two new installments each Wednesday until the November 25 finale.
The series is adapted from a popular Naver Webtoon that has accumulated nearly 3 billion views globally. The story centers on Navier, an empress whose marriage deteriorates when her husband, Emperor Sovieshu, becomes involved with Rashta, a former slave. In response to his desire to set her aside, Navier negotiates to marry Crown Prince Heinrey of a rival kingdom. Disney has identified this project as one of its most significant Korean productions, describing it as the most expensive Korean drama the company has produced to date. Production involved filming across European locations and custom-built palace sets.
Director Cho Su-won, known for prior television work including I Can Hear Your Voice, Pinocchio, and Still 17, helmed the series from scripts written by Yeoh Geena and Hyun Choong-yeol. Before its streaming launch, the series will receive a theatrical premiere at the Busan International Film Festival, running October 6-15. Three episodes, totaling 151 minutes, will debut in the festival’s On Screen section, a programming sidebar introduced in 2021 to showcase anticipated series in advance of their broader release.
