The Remarried Empress Releases Early on Disney and Hulu

Disney and Hulu released the first four episodes of The Remarried Empress on November 3, a day before the series’ previously announced premiere, after the change was announced at a press conference in Seoul. The early release brought forward the opening installment of the South Korean fantasy romance, which stars Shin Min-a, Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk and Lee Se-young. The series had been scheduled to premiere November 4. Disney and Hulu said the first four episodes would be available at launch. The remaining six episodes are scheduled to arrive two at a time each Wednesday beginning November 11, with the finale set for November 25. Adapted from a popular Naver Webtoon, the story centers on Navier, empress of the Eastern Empire, whose marriage to Emperor Sovieshu breaks down after he falls in love with Rashta. Navier agrees to a divorce on the condition that she can marry Heinrey, crown prince of the rival Western Kingdom. Shin plays Navier, Ju plays Sovieshu, Lee Se-young plays Rashta and Lee Jong-suk plays Heinrey. At the Seoul press conference, Shin said she aimed to show Navier as both a strong, regal figure and a person capable of finding new love. Director Cho Suwon said...
