Confirmed cast: who plays each character?
Shin Min-a plays Navier, Empress of the Eastern Empire. Start with our Navier Ellie Trovi guide.
Ju Ji-hoon plays Sovieshu, the emperor whose decision sets the story in motion. Read our Sovieshu character guide.
Lee Jong-suk plays Heinrey, the neighboring prince who enters Navier’s life. His names and role are covered in our Heinrey guide.

Disney+ describes the adaptation as a drama, romance, and fantasy series built around those four characters. Its starting point matches WEBTOON’s official synopsis: Navier is asked for a divorce and answers by requesting approval to remarry. New viewers can also use our The Remarried Empress character list, which brings together the main cast and character profiles.
Is there an official trailer?
Yes. Disney Plus Korea released the first teaser on August 26, 2026. We are not reproducing promotional stills here, but you can watch the teaser on the official channel. It is also the clearest primary source for the November 4 date.
Confirmed details and open questions
Confirmed: November 4, 2026 premiere, 10 episodes, a four-episode debut, two episodes weekly through November 25, Disney+ and Hulu distribution, an official teaser, and the four leads.
Still dependent on market: exact country-by-country availability and local release times.
While we wait, you can read the official English WEBTOON or use our WEBTOON seasons and ending guide. The screen series and the webtoon are different adaptations, so we will keep Disney+ announcements clearly separate from original-story details.
An anime is also coming in 2027
Alongside the live-action series, Crunchyroll has announced a The Remarried Empress anime adaptation for 2027. It is separate from the K-drama, produced by TROYCA, and already has a first trailer and Japanese main cast. See the full announcement in our The Remarried Empress anime guide.
