Get ready for a thrilling dive into a world of mythology, fantasy, and supernatural battles—Disney+ has officially confirmed that its highly anticipated K-drama Twelve will premiere on August 23, 2025. Co-produced with KBS2, this new series blends Eastern zodiac lore with modern storytelling, creating a unique take on celestial heroes and ancient evil.
Twelve is set in a universe where divine warriors—known as angels—walk among humans in secret, acting as guardians of the Korean Peninsula. Inspired by the 12 animals of the Eastern zodiac, these celestial beings once sealed away a terrifying force threatening the human world. But centuries later, the darkness is reawakening, and the twelve guardians must come together again to face a danger greater than anything they’ve ever known.
At the heart of the show is a powerful legend: twelve divine beings once united to fight and lock away a monstrous evil behind the gates of hell. They succeeded, but the cost was high. Now, with signs of that evil returning, the angels must reunite—not just as warriors, but as a family. The story explores their battles, struggles with loyalty, humanity, and rediscovering their purpose in a modern world.
