The Remarried Empress Webtoon Gets TV Anime From TROYCA in 2027
Crunchyroll announced at New York Comic Con on Thursday a television anime adaptation of HereLee and SUMPUL's webtoon The Remarried Empress. (The webtoon is itself based on Alphatart's original web novel.) TROYCA is animating the project for broadcast next year.
The main cast members are:
- Yōko Hikasa as Navier
- Ryōhei Kimura as Heinrey
- Tomoaki Maeno as Sovieshu
- Reina Ueda as Rashta
Tetsuya Yanagisawa is directing the anime at TROYCA, and Akiko Inoue is supervising and writing the series scripts. Jun Nakai is designing the characters, and Yūki Fukazawa is composing the music.
The romantic fantasy revolves around Navier, the perfect Empress of the Eastern Empire, who chooses divorce after discovering that her husband, Emperor Sovieshu, plans to replace her with his mistress. Determined to reclaim her status, Navier resolves to become an Empress in another land.
The webtoon has over 2.97 billion global views and has been translated into 10 languages. The series has a strong international following, particularly in Japan.
The webtoon ended in January after a seven-year run, but will return this fall for side stories.
The English version of the The Remarried Empress webtoon is available on WEBTOON. Ize Press is releasing the series in print.
The webtoon is also inspiring a live-action series which will premiere on Disney+ and Hulu on November 4, and the services will release two new episodes every Wednesday through the series finale on November 25 (for a total of 10 episodes).
