These are the new Korean dramas premiering in November and December 2026, as they look to a viewer in the United States. Checked November 11, 2026. The list covers premieres only, so shows that started earlier and are still airing are left out.

Every title carries one of three labels. Confirmed means a streamer or network page names both the US date and the US service. Reported means the date or the service comes from news coverage only, with no first-party page behind it yet. Unknown means we found no US date or no US service. Some unknown shows have a Korean broadcast date: that is the date the show starts on Korean television, and it does not tell you when a US service might add it. We update this page when a reported date is confirmed or a US service is announced.
