Disney+ has begun production on “The Koreans,” an upcoming reimagining of the critically acclaimed FX series “The Americans” created by Joe Weisberg, showrun by Joel Fields and Weisberg, and starring Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys.
The series will stream exclusively on Disney+ internationally and on Hulu in the United States.
Set during the wave of democratization and cultural modernization that swept across South Korea in the early 1990s, “The Koreans” will follow a middle-class family hiding a treasonous secret. While seemingly ordinary citizens in the eyes of their friends, neighbors, and even their children, both parents are actually elite North Korean spies working to bring down the South from within. Highlighting the stark difference between these two formerly united countries, the series will follow the spies as they wrestle with conflicting feelings of patriotism, loyalty, identity and love, while a ruthless Korean counterintelligence agent draws ever closer to discovering their identities.
Lee Byunghun (Squid Game) and Han Jimin (Heavenly Ever After) star as the undercover spies.
