After amassing over 2.6 billion views globally, the beloved Korean web novel and webtoon The Remarried Empress is set to reach new audiences through a live-action adaptation, exclusively on Disney+.
The upcoming romantic fantasy series follows the story of Navier, an ideal empress whose world is upended when her husband, Emperor Sovieshu, brings home a mistress and demands a divorce. Rather than succumb to betrayal, Navier agrees to the separation—on the condition that she be allowed to marry Heinrey, the Crown Prince of the Western Kingdom. The decision sparks a whirlwind of political drama, palace intrigue, and a battle to reclaim power.
Korean actress Shin Mina stars as Empress Navier, together with Ju Jihoon as Emperor Sovieshu and Lee Jongsuk as Prince Heinrey, while Lee Seyoung takes on the role of Rashta, Sovieshu’s ambitious concubine.
The series will be adapted by Yeoh Geena and Hyun Choongyeol, and will be directed by Cho Suwon.
The Remarried Empress joins a growing lineup of Korean content on Disney+. No release date has been announced.
