Originally scheduled to premiere Nov. 4, Korean romance series “The Remarried Empress” surprise-dropped its first four episodes one day early on Disney+ and Hulu amid intense anticipation for the series and high hopes from producer Webtoon Entertainment.

Following sold-out preview screenings at the Busan International Film Festival and the release of the show’s trailer surpassing 13 million views in the first 48 hours on YouTube and social media platforms, Webtoon worked with Disney+ and Hulu to get “The Remarried Empress” adaptation to audiences sooner.
