Disney+ Adapts Hit Korean Webtoon ‘The Remarried Empress’ as Live-Action Series
Disney+ has greenlit 'The Remarried Empress,' a live-action adaptation of the chart-topping Korean web novel and webtoon series.
The romantic fantasy drama will star Shin Min-a (“Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha,” “Karma”) as Empress Navier, alongside Ju Ji-hyun (“Light Shop,” “The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call”) as Emperor Sovieshu of the Eastern Empire. Rather than accept defeat, Navier agrees to the divorce but counters by asking to marry a rival prince of the Western Kingdom, setting off a tale of political intrigue, romance and a fight to reclaim stolen power. Other Korean titles include “Nine Puzzles,” a dark criminal mystery starring Kim Da-mi and Son Suk-ku; “Low Life,” a treasure hunting series with Ryu Seung-ryong; and international conspiracy thriller “Tempest” featuring Jun Ji-hyun, Gang Dong-won, John Cho and Michael Gaston.
