In surprising news that’s sending ripples of excitement around the world in the global ARMY fandom, BTS is reportedly reuniting for a brand-new K-drama project on Netflix— this time with a killer time-travel plot twist. After years of pursuing individual careers and serving their mandatory military commitments, all seven members of the world-famous boy band are apparently coming together for a scripted series that includes all the best bits of science fiction, heart, and Korean youth identity.
This will mark the first full-group collaboration since they began enlisting for military service, starting with Jin in December 2022. Now that the last members are nearing the end of their service by 2025, fans have been speculating about their reunion, most expecting a music comeback. But a Netflix K-drama? That’s something no one saw coming.
Sources close to the production reveal that the working title of the drama is “Beyond The Stars”, and it’s being developed by one of Korea’s top sci-fi drama creators, known for blending cutting-edge visuals with deep emotional storytelling. What’s more intriguing is that each BTS member will reportedly play a version of themselves, but in an alternate timeline, making it a meta-narrative that dances between fiction and reality.
Set across different decades, the story begins in modern-day Seoul and then slips into 1970s Korea, a future version of Seoul in 2090, and even an alternate present. The members discover an unexplainable phenomenon that gives them the ability to travel through time—but at the cost of some choices made along the way, and relationships that are tested and challenged based on their loyalties and identities, and dreams. Even though it is meant to be a K-drama full of fantasy, the main message is the essence of human experiences: friends, sacrifice, changing the future, and not erasing the past.
It’s not the first time BTS members have dabbled in acting. V, also known as Kim Taehyung, appeared in the historical drama “Hwarang” in 2016. Jin, too, has long expressed interest in pursuing acting after BTS, and RM has been involved in voiceover projects and literature-based content. But this will be the first time all seven members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—share the screen in a full-scale drama.
Netflix has not officially confirmed the project; however, sources close to the project are claiming that the streaming platform is making a sizable financial investment, with the global release set for late 2026 or early 2027. With the worldwide popularity of BTS, the series will be released in over 190 countries, with subtitles in over 30 languages after its release. Merchandising, behind-the-scenes documentaries, and even interactive fan content are also being planned as part of the promotional strategy.
The buzz began when a casting sheet leaked online in mid-June, mentioning “Project 7: Time Paradox” with code names that matched the BTS members’ initials. Soon after, several Korean entertainment journalists spotted BigHit staff entering the Netflix Korea office multiple times in the past month. While both Netflix and HYBE (BTS’s parent company) have remained tight-lipped, fans have already launched online forums, theories, and fan art imagining the members in futuristic and retro costumes.
Social media has been ablaze with excitement. Hashtags like #BTSNetflixDrama, #BTSReunion2026, and #BeyondTheStars have trended in multiple countries. ARMY members from Seoul to São Paulo are speculating about which member will travel to which era, what the emotional core of the story will be, and whether the music of BTS will play a role in the series’ soundtrack.
Overall, beyond the fanfare of the show, there is a lot that is at stake with this project. The BTS members are coming back from the military to re-enter the public realm, and this drama and the movie also represent a public re-entry into the hearts of fans who have been waiting for many years. To encapsulate K-pop stardom with the kind of narrative storytelling that was above average feels like an interim at its best in Korean entertainment, and another chapter where the fiction of K-pop and the fandom world meet what the audience takes away from the show, and a new standard in music and drama.
If it is a success, “Beyond The Stars” might reimagine how a global pop icon can engage with their audience in deeper and wider ways outside of traditional concert experiences and album launches. Meanwhile, in the big picture for Netflix, it is a strategic win that helps cement BTS’s unprecedented fanbase across the globe while widening their engagement with Asian storytelling.
Listen, whether you’re an ARMY or a casual drama viewer that occasionally stops into Netflix to watch something that is not a reality series, one thing is for sure – BTS’s time-travel K-drama is going to be more than just another K-drama. This will be a special cultural moment in pop culture history, and this time, it won’t just be another trip back in time; it will be a collective effort moving forward.
