The Remarried Empress is four episodes into its run in the US and Australia, and the rest of the court intrigue arrives on a fixed timetable: two new episodes every Wednesday until the finale on 25 November. The Korean fantasy romance is a Disney+ series in Canada, the UK and Australia, and in the US it streams on both Disney+ and Hulu. Here is where to find it in each market, when the remaining episodes land and what you are signing up for.
What it is
The series is based on the NAVER WEBTOON of the same name. Shin Min-a plays Navier, Empress of the Eastern Empire, who learns that her husband, Emperor Sovieshu (Ju Ji-hoon), wants a divorce so he can marry Rashta (Lee Se-young), a young runaway he has fallen for. Navier agrees, on one condition: that she be free to remarry. Her eye falls on Heinrey (Lee Jong-suk), Prince of the rival Western Kingdom. Cho Suwon directs from scripts by Yeoh Geena.
Who’s who at court
- Navier (Shin Min-a): Empress of the Eastern Empire, who accepts a divorce on her own terms.
- Sovieshu (Ju Ji-hoon): Emperor of the Eastern Empire, and the husband who wants out.
- Rashta (Lee Se-young): the young runaway who catches the Emperor’s eye.
- Heinrey (Lee Jong-suk): Prince of the Western Kingdom, the rival realm where Navier looks for a second marriage.
The four-way setup is the engine of the whole season, so the first episode is the one place not to skip ahead.
Disney+
Disney+ in Australia sums it up as “a grand fantasy romance about an Empress who divorces her unfaithful husband to reclaim her destiny.”
The schedule
The season runs 10 episodes. It opened with four on Wednesday 4 November, and the rest follow in pairs:
- Wednesday 11 November: episodes five and six
- Wednesday 18 November: episodes seven and eight
- Wednesday 25 November: episodes nine and 10, the finale
That makes 25 November the date to circle for anyone who would rather watch the whole season in one sitting. The timetable is confirmed on the Disney+ press schedule in the US and on Disney+ in Australia. Disney+ in Canada and the UK lists the series as a November arrival without episode dates on its title pages, so check the app in those markets for the exact drop time each week.
Where to watch, market by market
Canada. Disney+ is the home for the series, listed for November on the Canadian title page with a TV-14 rating.
United States. The series streams on both Disney+ and Hulu, where Disney’s press schedule labels it a Hulu Original. A subscription to either service will do; the title page rating is TV-14.
United Kingdom. Disney+ carries the series, listed for November and rated 16+ on the British title page, the strictest label of the four markets.
Australia. Disney+ carries the series, rated M. Disney+ Australia’s own explainer confirms the 4 November start and the two-episodes-a-week pattern.
Start now or wait?
The timing works in a newcomer’s favour. With four episodes already up, a weekend is enough to catch up before the next pair on 11 November, and anyone who prefers to binge can wait for the finale on 25 November and watch all 10 in one go.
Fans of page-to-screen romantasy such as Fourth Wing will know the pull of an adaptation with a built-in readership.
