Disney+ Previews Star-Driven 2026 Korean Drama Slate

Disney+ is stepping up its K-drama game for 2026 — and if you’re into romance, action, thrillers or fantasy, this lineup might surprise you.

One of the most talked-about projects is The Remarried Empress, a fantasy romance following Empress Navier as she navigates betrayal, divorce and the possibility of a new future. Shin Min-Ah and Lee Jong-Suk lead the cast, positioning the show as one of Disney+’s flagship dramas for 2026.

A Shop for Killers is also coming back for a second season. Lee Dong-Wook and Kim Hye-Jun reprise their roles in the high-stakes action thriller centered on an uncle and niece caught in a dangerous world of assassins. The renewal highlights Disney+’s push to build franchise-style originals in Korea.

Portraits of Delusion pairs Suzy and Kim Seon-Ho in a historical mystery set in Gyeongseong-era Seoul, where an artist’s commission leads to unsettling revelations.
Meanwhile, Gold Land stars Park Bo-Young, Kim Sung-Cheol and Lee Hyun-Wook in a tense drama involving smuggled gold and the personal conflicts that come with criminal ties.

On the romance front, In Your Radiant Season is set to premiere globally on February 20, 2026, placing it in Disney+’s early-year cycle. Perfect Crown, starring IU and Byeon Woo-Seok, explores status, power and attraction between a chaebol heiress and a royal prince.
