Disney's Remarried Empress Gives the Streamer a First-Place Introduction
· New York time
The Remarried Empress became Disney+'s most-viewed local original premiere globally within three days of its November 3 launch, Deadline reports. The Korean drama also ranked as the number one Korean title premiere in more than 50 markets, including the United States and the United Kingdom. The distinction concerns a local original premiere, not every title on the service. Even with that qualification, the reported launch shows how a series made in one market can attract attention across a global streaming platform. Disney has a drama whose title promises a second marriage and whose opening has given its local-original category a new first place. For a streamer, such a launch is an argument for making stories that can travel without beginning as American productions. For competing releases, it is a reminder that the international catalog is no longer waiting politely in a separate room.
