“Tempest”: The Fate of the Korean Peninsula Hangs in the Balance!
Set to premiere in 2025 on Disney+ (internationally) and Hulu (in the U.S.), Tempest revolves around two central characters racing against time to uncover the truth behind an attack threatening the future stability of the Korean Peninsula. The series stars Korean cinema heavyweights Gianna Jun as Seo Munju, a former U.S. ambassador and diplomat, and Gang Dongwon as Sanho, an enigmatic international special agent.
