Disney+ announced on Tuesday that its upcoming The Remarried Empress romance fantasy live-action series based on web novel and webtoon of the same name will premiere on November 4. The streaming service also released a teaser trailer and character posters for the series.

The teaser highlights the strained relationship between Navier (played by Min-A Shin), Sovieshu (Ji-Hoon Ju), Rashta (Se Young Lee), and Heinrey (Jong Suk Lee) as the imperial romance develops into a major political and personal conflict.
Suwon Cho is directing the series with scripts by Geena Yeoh and Choong-Yeol Hyun.
The webtoon has over 2.9 billion global views and has been translated into 10 languages. The series has a strong international following, particularly in Japan.
The webtoon ended in January after a seven-year run, but will return this fall for side stories.
The English version of the The Remarried Empress webtoon is available on WEBTOON. Ize Press is releasing the series in print.
