호텔)\n\n**Grand Galaxy Hotel** (그랜드 갤럭시 호텔) is an upcoming South Korean Netflix original series, a mystery romantic fantasy about a hotel that consoles the souls of the dead, created by the writers of *Hotel Del Luna*[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production). Netflix confirmed the production and cast on 13 October 2025[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production). A release date has not been announced[2](https://www.yna.co.kr/amp/view/AKR20251013049700005).\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Format | Netflix original series, mystery romance fantasy genre[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production) |\n| Production confirmation | 13 October 2025, with casting of the four leads announced the same day[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production) |\n| Writers | Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran (the \"Hong Sisters\")[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production) |\n| Director | Oh Choong-hwan (*Start-Up*, *Melo Movie*)[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production) |\n| Main cast | Lee Do-hyun as Eun-ha, Shin Si-a as Sang-soon, Lee Soo-hyuk as Baek-gi, Lee Su-hyun as Seok-san[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production) |\n| Production company | IMAGINUS[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production) |\n| Filming period | Scheduled 17 September 2025 to April 2026[3](https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/k-dramas/k-drama-grand-galaxy-hotel-netflix/) |\n| Release | Date not announced; Netflix confirmed the series but not a premiere schedule[2](https://www.yna.co.kr/amp/view/AKR20251013049700005) |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Premise\n\nThe series is set in the Grand Galaxy Hotel, a memorial hotel that provides top-class service to console the souls of the dead, and opens only in the middle of the night[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production). According to Netflix's synopsis, the hotel ranked first in customer satisfaction for decades among spirit reapers' top memorial hotels worldwide, and the story begins when its long-standing owner suddenly vanishes without a trace[3](https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/k-dramas/k-drama-grand-galaxy-hotel-netflix/). The new owner, Eun-ha, arrives and meets the hotel manager Sang-soon, the only human employee at the hotel, who does not fear ghosts[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production). Netflix describes the series as stories of guests with different backstories and mysterious events spanning this world and the afterlife[4](https://about.netflix.com/ko/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production).\n\n### Cast and characters\n\nNetflix announced four leads with the production confirmation[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production):\n\n- **Lee Do-hyun** plays Eun-ha, the hotel's new moody owner with a mysterious past, who arrives after the previous owner's sudden disappearance[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production).\n- **Shin Si-a** plays Sang-soon, the hotel's only human employee, a manager with strong professional spirit and a knack for befriending ghosts[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production). The actress drew attention with her film debut in *The Witch: Part 2* and the drama *Resident Playbook*[4](https://about.netflix.com/ko/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production).\n- **Lee Soo-hyuk** plays Baek-gi, a free-spirited grim reaper who cleans up the remnants of evil spirits[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production).\n- **Lee Su-hyun** plays Seok-san, a mysterious woman with an eerie and dangerous aura[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production). She was praised for her acting debut in the drama *Family Matters*[3](https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/k-dramas/k-drama-grand-galaxy-hotel-netflix/).\n\nBefore the official confirmation, producer IMAGINUS had announced [Lee Do-hyun](https://www.edgepedia.org/lee-do-hyun) and Shin Si-a as the leads in June 2025[5](https://www.ytn.co.kr/_ln/0117_202506270852117948). Reports at that time noted that actress [Go Min-si](https://www.edgepedia.org/go-min-si), who had been considered for the female lead, did not appear in the final casting[5](https://www.ytn.co.kr/_ln/0117_202506270852117948).\n\n## Creative team\n\nThe script is by the Hong Sisters, Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran, whose earlier credits include *Sassy Girl Chun-hyang*, *My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho*, *The Greatest Love*, *Master's Sun*, and *Alchemy of Souls*[6](https://news.sbs.co.kr/amp/news.amp?news_id=N1008288857). The director is Oh Choong-hwan, whose credits include *The Doctors*, *While You Were Sleeping*, *Start-Up*, *Castaway Diva*, and Netflix's *Melo Movie*[6](https://news.sbs.co.kr/amp/news.amp?news_id=N1008288857).\n\nThe pair previously collaborated on the 2019 hit *Hotel Del Luna*, also set at a hotel for the dead, and *Grand Galaxy Hotel* reunites them with actor Lee Do-hyun, who worked with both on that series[6](https://news.sbs.co.kr/amp/news.amp?news_id=N1008288857). Korean press described the new series as having a similar premise, with the gender arrangement of the two leads reversed: in *Hotel Del Luna* the owner was a woman and the human manager a man, while here the new owner Eun-ha is male and the only human employee is female[6](https://news.sbs.co.kr/amp/news.amp?news_id=N1008288857) • [7](https://www.hoonyspot.com/2026/09/grand-galaxy-hotel-netflix.html).\n\nNetflix has never described the series as a second season of *Hotel Del Luna*, and whether the two shows share a fictional universe is not officially confirmed[7](https://www.hoonyspot.com/2026/09/grand-galaxy-hotel-netflix.html). After *Hotel Del Luna* ended in 2019, the Hong Sisters said they had no concrete plans for a second season, and broadcaster tvN said none had been discussed[7](https://www.hoonyspot.com/2026/09/grand-galaxy-hotel-netflix.html).\n\n## Production and release\n\nFilming was scheduled to begin on 17 September 2025 and to run through April 2026[3](https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/k-dramas/k-drama-grand-galaxy-hotel-netflix/). Netflix's own announcement, and Korean press coverage of it, stated that no release date had been set[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production) • [2](https://www.yna.co.kr/amp/view/AKR20251013049700005). Some databases list 2026, others 2027; with filming running into April 2026, trade coverage has judged a 2027 release the most realistic, and the year labels on database pages are editor entries rather than announcements from the distributor[3](https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/k-dramas/k-drama-grand-galaxy-hotel-netflix/) • [7](https://www.hoonyspot.com/2026/09/grand-galaxy-hotel-netflix.html). The series will stream exclusively on Netflix[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/grand-galaxy-hotel-production).\n\n## References\n\n1.
