Disney+ confirmed A Shop for Killers 2 and The Remarried Empress in its 2026 Korean originals slate on September 15, 2026.
Both are Disney+ originals, so they stream only on Disney+ — and in the US, past Korean originals have appeared on Hulu.
This post covers where each title lands in your region, what a subscription means for you, and when release dates are expected.
Disney+ Korean Dramas 2026 List: The Confirmed Slate
| A Shop for Killers Season 2 | Confirmed Disney+ 2026 original; release date not fixed |
|---|---|
| The Remarried Empress | Confirmed Disney+ 2026 original adaptation; release date not fixed |
| More 2026 slate titles | Announced as multiple confirmed originals; full list not in one place yet |
| Release dates and trailers | Expected around October 31, 2026 |
Disney+ announced its 2026 Korean originals slate on September 15, 2026, and the two headline titles are A Shop for Killers Season 2 and The Remarried Empress.
Both carry a strong hook: one is a returning Season 2, the other an adaptation of one of the most-read Korean web novels.
The announcement covered multiple confirmed Korean originals beyond those two, with details rolling out through the year.
What the September 15 announcement did not include is anything more specific than the 2026 year window — no exact dates.
If you want the complete official list in one table, treat the two headline titles as confirmed and check the next reveal before counting the rest.
A Shop for Killers Season 2: Where to Watch
A Shop for Killers Season 2 streams on Disney+ when it drops, and in the US the expectation is Hulu, based on how Season 1 streamed.
Season 1 (2024) premiered exclusively as a Disney+ (Hulu in the US) Korean original, so the sequel follows the same platform window by precedent.
The gap between seasons is roughly 2 years — 2024 to the 2026 slate.
One thing to hold off on: the announcement confirms the season, not the cast, so cast continuation is not fully settled.
When a Korean original is announced, the first thing I check is not the date — it’s which service carries it in your country, because Disney+ originals go to Hulu in the US, and that changes the whole answer.
The Remarried Empress: Where to Watch — Netflix or Disney+?
The Remarried Empress is a Disney+ original, so it is not on Netflix — if you are waiting for it there, switch your search to Disney+.
It adapts the hit Naver web novel and webtoon of the same name, and it is being produced as a full series, not a film.
Disney+ originals do not license to Netflix or Viki during the original window, so there is no second platform to wait for.
Episode count and cast for the adaptation have not been confirmed.
If you were planning to subscribe to Netflix for this one, the subscription that matters is Disney+ instead.
Where Disney+ Korean Originals Stream by Region
In most regions, Disney+ Korean originals stream on Disney+; in the United States, past titles have streamed on Hulu.
That split is a pattern from past titles, not an official per-title confirmation for the 2026 slate — which service carries The Remarried Empress in the US specifically has not been confirmed.
Here is how the two platforms sit side by side.
| Region | Where to look |
|---|---|
| Most regions outside the US | Disney+ |
| United States | Historically Hulu for Disney+ Korean originals — per-title placement for 2026 not yet confirmed |
Licensing also varies country by country, and some titles appear in one region but not another at launch.
Before you assume a title is available where you live, check the per-title catalog in your app first.
What You Need to Watch: Subscription and Price
A Disney+ subscription is required to watch the 2026 slate — there is no free tier or second platform carrying it.
Pricing varies by country and tier, and no reliable per-country price figure could be verified for 2026, so the number to trust is the one on your local Disney+ price page.
One more gap to know about: in some countries a title may not appear in the catalog at launch, because regional licensing differs.
If the title is not showing in your region at launch, checking the per-title catalog first is faster than assuming it is missing from your subscription.
If you are deciding whether to subscribe just for this slate, checking your local price page and the October 31 date reveal first is the cheaper order of operations.
When Do the 2026 Titles Drop? Dates and the 2025 Precedent
No specific release dates exist for A Shop for Killers 2 or The Remarried Empress as of September 26, 2026 — dates and trailers are expected around October 31, 2026.
That is about 1.5 months after the September 15 slate announcement, so the wait is short.
The 2025 slate points to the platform path: Hyper Knife and Nine Puzzles both streamed as Disney+ Korean originals, and Hyper Knife reached US viewers through Hulu.
Anything more specific than ‘2026’ for either title would be guesswork until the October 31 reveal.
I would wait for the October 31 announcement before subscribing — the titles are not going anywhere, and a month and a half buys you the actual dates.
