Disney+ and Hulu have released the first full trailer for The Remarried Empress, a Korean drama series scheduled to launch on Nov. 4. The 10-episode show is a high-budget adaptation of a Naver Webtoon that has generated nearly 3 billion views globally, positioning it among Disney’s most significant Korean productions to date.
The series features Shin Min-a as Navier, an empress of the fictional Eastern Kingdom whose marriage to Emperor Sovieshu, played by Ju Ji-hoon, deteriorates when he develops feelings for Rashta, a former slave who arrives at court and is portrayed by Lee Se-young. As the emperor’s affections shift and courtly tensions escalate, Navier becomes increasingly involved with Crown Prince Heinrey of the rival Western Kingdom, portrayed by Lee Jong-suk. The storyline centers on political maneuvering and romantic complications that span multiple relationships.
When the emperor moves to end his marriage, Navier accepts his wishes under one condition: permission to marry Heinrey. This arrangement creates a complex entanglement affecting all four main characters and potentially destabilizing relations between the two kingdoms. The production was filmed across European locations and includes elaborate sets constructed specifically for the show.
Director Cho Su-won leads the project, with previous television credits including I Can Hear Your Voice, Pinocchio, and Still 17. The scripts are credited to Yeoh Geena and Hyun Choong-yeol. The series will premiere with four episodes on Nov. 4, followed by two new episodes each Wednesday through Nov. 25. Before its streaming debut, the show will make its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival in October, where three episodes totaling 151 minutes will screen.
