Disney+ Korea has finally dropped the first batch of stills for its 2026 K-drama lineup, and the platform is clearly going all-in next year. From royal revenge to psychological thrillers and action sequels, the variety is huge and the star power is even bigger.
Here’s a complete look at the titles officially revealed for 2026!
1. The Remarried Empress (2026)
Navier (played by Shin Min-ah) is admired across the empire — graceful, intelligent, and respected as a perfect Empress. Her seemingly steady life shatters when Emperor Sovieshu (Ju Ji-hoon) demands a divorce, choosing his mistress Rashta (Lee Se-young) over her.
Instead of breaking down, Navier takes control of her fate and forms an unexpected alliance with Prince Heinrey (Lee Jong-suk). What follows is a tense political and emotional tug-of-war as she prepares to remarry into a rival kingdom and reclaim her power.

With criminals, investigators, and powerful groups closing in on her, Hee-ju finds herself running for her life while trying to uncover who set her up.
