Fans of Korean dramas are excited about the releases in 2024. The only complaint is that it’s taking too long. But hey! It’s just February. LOL. For the year 2024, platforms like Netflix, Viki, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are releasing their own original content as well as content from parties they have entered into distribution agreements with like CJ ENM. For other streaming platforms like Tubi, Pluto, Freevee, and Roku, you can find K-dramas from the years before 2024, that have recently been made available to the US audience. Some platforms have joined hands. For example, some KOCOWA+ content is on Amazon Prime and Viki. Hulu content is also on Disney+. In some instances, content that was only on Viki can now be found on both Viki and Netflix. Some content you have to rent, just like back in the day when you went to the video rental store. Some Korean TV series and movies never make it to the USA. If you want you can use platforms like NordVPN
