The Korean romantic series ‘The Remarried Empress’ has become the most-viewed local original premiere ever across Disney+ and Hulu globally. Disney said it set a new benchmark for the company’s international programming just three days after its debut.
The series, starring Shin Mina, Ju Jihoon, Lee Jongsuk and Lee Seyoung, launched with four episodes on Nov. 3. Disney said Friday that it also delivered the biggest Korean title premiere to date in more than 50 markets, including the U.S., Britain, France, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Chile, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Disney did not disclose viewing figures. The global record is based on views during the show’s first three days of availability. ‘The Remarried Empress’ has overtaken the platform’s previous Korean breakout, the 2023 superhero drama ‘Moving’.
