- The show will receive a world premiere screening of three episodes in the Busan International Film Festival’s On Screen section during the Oct. 6–15 festival window.
- The Remarried Empress is a 10-episode live-action adaptation of a Naver webtoon with roughly three billion views and stars Shin Min-a, Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk and Lee Se-young.
- Disney calls the production one of its biggest and most costly Korean projects, filmed on elaborate palace sets and multiple European locations, and directed by Cho Su-won from scripts by Yeoh Geena and Hyun Choong-yeol.
