This is a list of pending BL that seem likely to have been canceled but haven't been announced as such yet. Some are merely rumored to be canceled, while others are assumed canceled because they haven't updated in years.
If any of these become active again, I will happily move them to the list of upcoming BL, which you can view if you CLICK HERE.

1. Anak ni Corason
Filipino Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
Listed as coming out in 2021, but no updates that I can see. May be canceled, which is a shame, because BL thrillers are rare.
-
2. The Tale of Tail
Filipino Drama - 0000
One to several years without updates, but I hope it still happens.
-
3. Heesu in Class 2
Korean Drama - 0000, 10 episodes
Supposedly this has been filmed and finished for quite a while, which means there are other issues at hand. This could be a licensing problem or a fight over rights, etc. That means there's a chance that we will never see this, which sucks. No updates in a long time, but if that changes, I'll move it back to the other list. EDIT: There have been some updates, but there's a decent amount of controversy here. Waiting to see before I move it to the other list.
-
4. Imado Jinja
Thai Drama - 0000
This was announced two years ago (as of Nov 2023) and hasn't had any updates in a long time. Looks like this one may be canceled.
-
5. Aquaman
Korean Drama - 0000, 12 episodes
No updates in a long time, and very little info since the initial announcement. Not looking good.
-
6. Nighttime in the Suburb
Filipino Drama - 0000, 8 episodes
One to several years without updates. EDIT: Now it's listed as unconfirmed, so this may be another MODC situation.
-
7. PhilJie's Heart
Filipino Drama - 0000
One to several years without updates. Don't get your hopes up.
-
8. 19 Days
Chinese Drama - 0000
One to several years without updates. Don't get your hopes up. Even if this is made, there's a chance it'll lose its essence, since it's likely to be censored in China. But they're finding ways to get around that stuff by only releasing it outside of the country, so who knows.
-
9. Heart by Heart
Thai Drama - 0000
No updates for a while, and talk of rights issues months ago. They seemed ready and raring to go a while back, but it's been silent since. This one may not make it out.
-
10. My Lucky Cat
Thai Drama - 0000
It's been a long time with no updates. I'm sad to say this one may not ever air.
-
11. Idol's Here
Thai Drama - 0000
Likely canceled, but no official announcement yet.
-

Thai Drama - 0000

18. Our Stories
Thai Drama - 0000
One to several years without updates. Don't get your hopes too high for this one happening.
-
19. The Dentist and the Northern Boy
Thai Drama - 0000
Possibly canceled as current lead actor is a murderer, but they could potentially recast his role. Here's hoping there's justice for his poor girlfriend. That's obviously more important than the show coming out.
-
20. The Sweet Robot
Thai Drama - 0000
Likely canceled, but no official announcement yet.
-
21. The Victory Academy
Thai Drama - 0000
Likely canceled, but no official announcement yet.

Thai Drama - 0000
One to several years without updates. Don't get your hopes up.
-
33. U & I
Filipino Drama - 0000, 12 episodes
Honestly, looks like a mess, might be canceled, but it could still come out.
-
34. Fly in Shallow
Chinese Drama - 0000
Likely canceled as it's a gay story in China. Some have managed to get around this without turning it into bromance, but I guess this project has been sitting for a while.
-
35. The Heart Accent Lamp
Filipino Drama - 0000
One to several years without updates.
-
36. Silingan
Filipino Drama - 0000
One to several years without updates.

One to several years without updates.
-
41. Libulan at Sidapa
Filipino Movie - 0000
We need more supernatural BL, but this hasn't updated in a long time. So sad.
-
42. Love on Me Pare
Filipino Drama - 0000, 8 episodes
One to several years without updates.
-
43. Love and Chemistry
Filipino Drama - 0000, 8 episodes

-
50. One Day Pag-Ibig Season 2: Ikaw at Ako
Filipino Drama - 0000, 7 episodes
One to several years without updates.
-
51. Sakristan: Ikalawang Pagbasa
Filipino Drama - 0000
Over a year without updates, however it's probably for the best. Lots of controversy surrounding the director, and apparently the first season was awful.
-
52. Chasing the Light
Chinese Drama - 0000, 24 episodes
Filmed but probably will never be released due to the China ban on BL content. Maybe they'll find a way around it one day.
-
53. Bloody Buddy
Thai Movie - 0000
One to several years without updates. Don't get your hopes up.
-
54. The Keeper of the Lake
Filipino Drama - 0000, 6 episodes
There were three different Filipino mermaid BL on here, and none of them seem to be moving forward. :(
-
55. Cheat Season 2
Filipino Drama - 0000, 6 episodes
Seems to have been dropped.
-
56. Love Lies
Filipino Drama - 0000, 10 episodes
One to several years without updates.
-
57. Ghosted
Filipino Drama - 0000, 10 episodes
One to several years without updates.
-
58. Nilundon
Thai Drama - 0000, 12 episodes
This is supposedly still on, but they recast the lead and have to reshoot a bunch of it, so... I don't know. It's been a long time with no updates. I'm thinking this may actually be canceled.
-
59. Love Syndrome
Thai Movie - 0000
After being canceled in 2019, this one appeared to be back on the table. However, it had been erroneously updated, due to the show of the same name based on the third novel. These are two different companies, and this version still seems to be canceled. Which is perhaps for the best, given the very controversial and disturbing plot.
-
60. Love at First Sight
Thai Drama - 0000, 6 episodes
No updates for quite a while so placing it here for now, but I'm hoping I'll be able to switch it back to the "coming soon" list.
-
61. Why You?
Filipino Drama - 0000
Filipino BL has been having a lot of bad luck lately. It seems like a lot of it is falling through. We'll see if that changes for any of these.
-
62. A Man's Crazy Heart
Filipino Drama - 0000, 12 episodes
Long while without updates.
-
63. Want to Be on Your Mind
Thai Drama - 0000
Long while without updates.
-
64. When the Apple Falls in Love
Thai Drama - 0000
No info, no updates. Probably shouldn't get your hopes up here.
-
65. Chemistry in Love
Thai Drama - 0000
Same as above.
-
66. Alas Kuwatro ng Madaling Araw at Gising Ka Pa
Filipino Movie - 0000
No updates for a long time. Potentially another Filipino casualty.
-
67. Turbulence
Filipino Drama - 0000, 10 episodes
Well over a year with no updates, and a lot of Pinoy stuff seems to flicker in and out. Too bad, since it featured real couples, which would have been cool. EDIT: One of the leads has sadly passed away, further cementing the idea that this is probably canceled.
-
68. My Engineer Season 2
Thai Drama - 0000, 14 episodes
No updates in a long time, and now three of the leads have had their contracts with the company end. This doesn't look likely.
-
69. Emergency Love
Thai Drama - 0000
No updates for a long time. May be canceled. EDIT: New info suggests this was never actually a BL series, but a promotional school project that's been completed and not intended for public release.
-
70. Because of You Season 2
Taiwanese Drama - 0000
One to several years with no updates.
-
71. Adam's Apples
Filipino Movie - 0000
I can't find any info on this, and it's been a long time since the page was created. Potentially not happening.
-
72. My Last Love
Thai Drama - 0000
The production team, or someone in charge, expressed running into a lot of problems. Though they stated many months ago that they weren't giving up yet, there haven't been any updates since.
-
73. Bitter Sweet
Thai Drama - 0000, 8 episodes
Nothing for over a year, and the company itself has been inactive.
-
74. Phupha and Plawarn
Thai Drama - 0000
No updates for a long time. This one may have been abandoned.
-
75. Two Game Over
Korean Drama - 0000
No updates or further info for a long time.
-
76. You Are My Arm
Thai Movie - 0000
Supposedly scheduled for September 2023, but there were no updates on its funding, and now none of the websites or social media around it are working. It looks like this one was abandoned. Over a year without a word, plus the sites all deleted--there isn't much hope here.
-
77. Transplant
Thai Drama - 0000
This one is particularly painful to me. Despite being promised to us multiple times, it seems this one may never happen. Tul has retired from acting, and it wouldn't be the same if they recast him. Maybe there's a chance he'll throw us a bone and be in this last show, but it's best not to get our hopes up.
-
78. End Love
Thai Drama - 0000
One or more years without any updates. This may have been abandoned.
-
79. The Theory Series
Thai Drama - 0000
Multiple years without updates, and one of the leads may be quitting acting, so he'd have to be replaced anyway. Things aren't looking good for this one.
-
80. Boxe, Ring, Love
Thai Drama - 0000
Sadly, this hasn't updated in a year or more, so it may be canceled.
-
81. Sorceror
Taiwanese Drama - 0000
As much as it pains me, over a year without updates is unusual for Taiwanese productions, and this interesting concept may have been canceled.
-
82. Wish Me Luck
Thai Drama - 0000
A year or more has passed without updates. Things aren't looking good for this project.
-
83. Art Adore En
Thai Drama - 0000
This title seemed doomed from the start and has faced many issues. After a full recasting and numerous other changes, the show was promised to be released soon. Then another year passed with no updates. Might be time to let this one go.
-
84. Desire
Chinese Drama - 0000, 13 episodes
This was very likely never actually going to happen from the start. It's a strange genre in a very homophobic country, and it seems this was just a single person trying to be ambitious. No official announcement, and I don't expect there to be one, but this is very, VERY likely canceled.
-
85. Call My Name
Thai Drama - 0000
At least two years with no updates, and reportedly both cast leads have left the company.
-
86. Iron Lady Academy
Thai Drama - 0000
There isn't a lot of information on this project from the start, but it was estimated to come out quite some time ago and simply hasn't updated in years.
-
87. Just Say Yes!
Thai Drama - 0000
Given the company's refusal to even acknowledge this project, some changes in the roster of actors under their label, and the fact that other shows have since been announced, it's likely that this is canceled. It's strange that the company hasn't been official about it, so maybe there's still hope, but it isn't looking good.
-
88. Trouble Maker
Thai Drama - 0000
A year or more without updates or any further info.
-
89. Boxer in Heart
Thai Drama - 0000
Several boxing BLs were announced around the same time, and all three were abandoned, it would appear. Wandee Goodday was saved by GMMTV and is scheduled for 2024, but this one has been nothing but radio silence. Probably canceled.
-
90. Killing Stalking
Korean Drama - 0000
This was a controversial project from the start, and with no updates for nearly two years as of November 2023, it seems unlikely that it will ever be made.
-
91. Blueming
Korean Drama - 0000, 8 episodes
This was originally a sequel page, but now it has the "never actually confirmed" tag. This may have just been a misconstrued rumor all along.
-
92. Wildest Dreams
Thai Drama - 0000
A year or more with no updates or further information.
-
93. Remembrance
Thai Drama - 0000
Virtually no information at all, with a year or more without updates.
-
94. My Dear
Thai Drama - 0000
No information on the project, no updates in at least a year.
-
95. Jump
Thai Drama - 0000
While this looked intriguing, it unfortunately seems to have been abandoned. It was meant to come out in January 2023, but there have been no updates since. Also, apparently multiple people involved have since left the company. No official announcement, but this appears to be dead.
-
96. Personal Manager
Thai Drama - 0000
Nothing more than a casting call at least a year ago with no further updates.
-
97. The Promise Season 2
Thai Drama - 0000
Normally I wait at least a year to add a title to this list, but it appears that those involved were trying to get fan-funding through pre-orders and couldn't even fund their special episode. It seems likely that a second season isn't in the cards for them.
-
98. Prince and I
Filipino Drama - 0000, 14 episodes
This is a common trend with announced Filipino titles. Many never come to pass these days. It's harder to verify, too, as I struggle to find solid sources for Filipino BL content in general, but it's been two or more years without any info on the show.
-
99. Wall of Dawn
Thai Drama - 0000, 6 episodes
They'd turned to crowd sourcing, but that was over a year ago, past when it was supposed to air. I think this may be doomed.
-
100. King of Bar Host
Thai Drama - 0000
Long silence between announcement and now. Not even any hints that it's going on, but then again, you never know with Thai projects. They can pop up again after several years like nothing happened.
