Shin Min-ah Series Available on Streaming Besides the Remarried Empress
The South Korean fantasy drama series The Remarried Empress premiered globally on Disney+ and Hulu on November 3, 2026, breaking viewership records for a non-English original production within its first 72 hours.
Based on the Naver webtoon written by Alphatart and illustrated by Sumpul, the ten-episode series follows Navier, the empress of the Eastern Empire, as she faces a divorce petition from her husband, Emperor Sovieshu, after he falls for a runaway slave named Rashta.
Rather than accepting the decree, Navier agrees to the separation on the condition that she be permitted to marry Prince Heinrey of the Western Kingdom. The production stars Shin Min-ah alongside Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Se-young.
Before its streaming debut, the project generated significant anticipation. The webtoon accumulated nearly 3 billion reads and views since its initial publication. Promotional screenings at the Busan International Film Festival in October 2026 sold out completely, and the final trailer surpassed 13 million views on YouTube and social media within 48 hours.
Driven by this high demand, Disney+ advanced the premiere by one day from its original November 4 schedule. Within its first three days, the series ranked as the number-one title in more than 50 countries, including the United States, Japan, Mexico, Chile, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom.
The ten-episode season rolls out weekly. The platform released the first four chapters on November 3, with episodes five and six scheduled for November 11, chapters seven and eight arriving on November 18, and the final two episodes set to air on November 25, 2026.
For viewers looking beyond the current royal drama, Shin Min-ah’s filmography offers several streaming alternatives spanning television networks and digital platforms. Netflix and Pluto TV carry the 2015 romantic comedy Oh My Venus, which pairs the actress with So Ji-sub across 16 episodes. Netflix also hosts the 2021 coastal romance Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha co-starring Kim Seon-ho, the 2022 ensemble drama Our Blues, and the six-episode 2025 thriller Karma.
