Disney+ and Hulu announced an accelerated release schedule for The Remarried Empress, moving the premiere to November 3 instead of the previously planned November 4. The announcement was made by the series’ four main cast members—Shin Min-a, Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Se-young—at a press conference held in Seoul earlier in the week. The platform characterized the early arrival as an expression of gratitude to the show’s fanbase for their enthusiasm.
The Remarried Empress will debut with its first four episodes available simultaneously. Following the initial rollout, two additional episodes will premiere each Wednesday beginning November 11, with the season finale scheduled for November 25. This release structure maintains the previously announced schedule for all subsequent episodes after the premiere week.
The series, adapted from a popular Naver Webtoon, centers on Navier, an empress whose marriage falters when her husband, Emperor Sovieshu, develops feelings for Rashta, a former slave. In response to his divorce proposal, Navier negotiates the freedom to marry Crown Prince Heinrey of a neighboring kingdom. The cast also includes Lee Se-young in the role of Rashta. The adaptation was developed by Yeoh Geena and Hyun Choongyeol and directed by Cho Suwon, known for previous work on Still 17 and Pinocchio.
The early release announcement arrives following sold-out preview screenings at the Busan International Film Festival in October. According to Disney’s statement, promotional materials for the series achieved notable online engagement, with the official trailer accumulating over 13 million views across YouTube and social media within its first two days. The underlying webtoon source material has reportedly accumulated nearly three billion views since its publication.
