The Remarried Empress FAQ
The 2026 drama streams on Disney+ and Hulu in the US, runs 10 episodes and ends on 25 November; the webtoon is finished, and no season 2 has been announced. One answer carries a marked episode 1 spoiler.
Where can I watch The Remarried Empress?
On Disney+ and, in the US, Hulu. It is Korean audio with English subtitles, or an English dub, and rated 15+. Disney has not published an exact weekly drop hour; check your Disney+/Hulu app. See where to watch for the regional notes.
Is The Remarried Empress on Netflix?
No official Netflix listing was found. Disney+ and Hulu are the platforms named by Disney.
When do new episodes come out?
Episodes 1–4 arrived on 3 November 2026. Two episodes follow each Wednesday: 5–6 on 11 November, 7–8 on 18 November and 9–10 on 25 November. The exact hour is not published, so check your app.
How many episodes are there?
10. Disney's article and Wikipedia's release section agree; Wikipedia's infobox says 4, but that is the number released at launch. The episode guide lists all 10.
When is the finale?
25 November 2026, when episodes 9 and 10 arrive together. The exact hour is not published; check your Disney+/Hulu app.
Is it on Hulu?
Yes in the US. Disney's early-premiere post says episodes 1–4 are exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu. We could not confirm whether episodes 5–10 stay on Hulu; one summary suggested Disney+ only, so check your Hulu app.
Is it based on a webtoon or a novel?
Both. Alphatart's web novel ran from 2018 to 2020; the webtoon adaptation by HereLee and SUMPUL ran from 2019 to 2026. The drama adapts that story, with a screenplay credited to Yeoh Geena and Hyun Choongyeol.
Is the webtoon finished?
Yes. The main story ended at chapter 247 on 15 January 2026, and WEBTOON published the final chapter in English. A spin-off began on Naver Webtoon on 29 October 2026, with new English episodes on WEBTOON on Fridays.
Where can I read it legally?
The English webtoon is on WEBTOON; the Korean one is on Naver Webtoon. The English novel is digital on Yonder, and print volumes come from Ize Press (Yen Press). We found no official KakaoPage or Tapas listing.
Is there a season 2?
No announcement found as of 10 November 2026. Disney has not confirmed a second season. Webtoon "seasons" are chapter groupings, not TV seasons, so do not read a season 3 or 4 listing as a renewal.
Is there an anime?
Yes, a 2027 TV anime from TROYCA was announced at New York Comic Con on 8 October 2026 (ANN). Tetsuya Yanagisawa directs, with Yoko Hikasa, Ryohei Kimura, Tomoaki Maeno and Reina Ueda voicing Navier, Heinrey, Sovieshu and Rashta. The exact premiere date is not confirmed.
What is different between the drama and the webtoon?
Spoilers for episode 1. One change has a named source: the drama adds a hunting-festival monster and a giant bird rescue, according to a single community review. There is no reliable scene-by-scene comparison yet, and we will add one as episodes air. End of spoilers.
Is the drama finished?
No. Season 1 is still airing, with the finale on 25 November 2026. Whether the 10 episodes cover the whole webtoon story is not confirmed.
Is it suitable for children?
Disney+ Korea rates it 15+. That is the only rating we found, so check your region's rating in the app before watching with younger viewers.

The official Hulu trailer runs 1:49 and previews the series.
