Adapted for the screen from the popular web novel of the same name, ‘The Remarried Empress’ is a sweeping romance-fantasy epic about the perfect empress of the Eastern Empire, who is told by her emperor—who has fallen for a fugitive slave—that he wants a divorce. Rather than accept, she demands approval to remarry the prince of the Western Kingdom. The series stars Shin Min-a, Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, Lee Se-young, Lee Bong-ryeon, Choi Dae-hoon, Jung Young-joo, Park Ho-san, and Nam Yun-ho, among others. Yeo Ji-na, the writer of ‘Two Outs in the Ninth Inning’ and ‘The Uncanny Counter,’ wrote the script, while director Jo Soo-won, whose credits include ‘I Hear Your Voice,’ ‘Pinocchio,’ and ‘Still 17,’ directed the series. ‘The Remarried Empress’ is available on Disney+ every Wednesday, with two episodes released at a time, for a total of 10 episodes.
