"I Accept the Divorce"... Shin Mina Transforms Into Perfect Empress in 'The Remarried Empress' Poster

Disney+'s new original series 'The Remarried Empress' is set to unveil this fall.

On July 27, Disney+ officially confirmed the release of its new series 'The Remarried Empress' for autumn 2026, alongside a teaser poster capturing the majestic presence of Empress Navier.

'The Remarried Empress' is a grand romance fantasy epic that unfolds as Navier (played by Shin Mina), the flawless empress of the Eastern Empire, is notified of a divorce by Emperor Sovieshu (played by Ju Ji-hoon)—who has fallen for the runaway slave Rashta (played by Lee Seyoung)—and instead of accepting it passively, demands approval for her remarriage to Prince Heinrey (played by Lee Jong-suk) of the Western Kingdom.

Based on the legendary, globally sensational IP including the original webtoon that has accumulated 2.97 billion views globally (as of July 2026), this marks Disney+'s first-ever K-romance fantasy project.

The teaser poster released on this day immediately captures attention with Empress Navier standing proudly alone in the middle of a solemn courtroom. In particular, the tagline featuring the original work's iconic line, "I accept the divorce. And, I request approval for my remarriage," strongly hints at Navier's resolute decision to forge an independent path rather than crumble before her husband's betrayal.

Set against the fictional royal backdrop of the Eastern Empire, 'The Remarried Empress' is drawing high expectations over how an acclaimed cast including Shin Mina, Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Seyoung will bring this original romance fantasy universe—entangling royal love, power, and desire—to life in live-action.
