Disney+ Disney+ has begun production on “The Koreans,” a reimagining of the acclaimed FX series “The Americans,” with Lee Byung-hun and Han Jimin set to star as North Korean spies living undercover in South Korea.
Set against the wave of democratization and cultural modernization that swept through South Korea in the early 1990s, the series centers on a middle-class family concealing a treasonous secret. Though appearing to be ordinary citizens to their friends, neighbors and even their own children, both parents are in fact elite North Korean operatives working to destabilize the South from within. The series will track the pair as they are pulled between allegiance to their homeland, their sense of self and their bonds as a family, while a relentless Korean counterintelligence agent edges closer to exposing them.
