Netflix commissioned the series in February 2025 under the working title “Show Business”. It has since been renamed “Tantara”. Why Tantara?
딴따라(ttanttara)
“A historically derogatory term used to belittle musicians, dancers and other entertainers.”
It won’t always be pretty, but expect plenty of drama, plenty of joy and plenty of music. Set in Korea’s entertainment industry from the 1960s to the 1980s, the series follows Song Hye-kyo and Gong Yoo as childhood friends who are hoping to claw their way to the top of the music industry. Its an unforgiving world, one where entertainers are adored on stage and looked down on off it.
Expected release date:
Q4 2026, most likely December.
