WTH Now recent rumours suggest it'll be aired next year as Youku just launched its 2027 lineup drama posters
No, that’s not how it works. It doesn’t mean the majority of the dramas in the lineup will actually air in 2027. It’s a 2026–2027 lineup, with some dramas potentially airing later in 2026 and others in 2027.
This is also how previous Youku conferences and other networks have worked. The annual conference presents the platform’s overall lineup for the upcoming period, not a guarantee that every drama announced will be released within that specific calendar year.
Hujing Digital Media & Entertainment Group — Youku 2026 - 2027 Drama Lineup
Earlier this March, this drama was showcased at the Hong Kong International Film & TV Market. Based on the information given there, it’s tentatively planned to have 24 episodes × 60 minutes.
We’ll know the actual episode duration once it airs, as the 60-minute runtime is only tentative for now.
The poster about the iQIYI lineup was not directly posted by iQIYI. It was made by a TV drama blogger. However, some of the dramas included on the poster are actually confirmed, such as Abyss on September 9 and Spring of the Blade on September 17, while others, like Shadow Punisher is rumored for late September. A Prophet is rumored for September 23, while others are rumored for October.
The costume drama #WheretheMaskEnds, starring #TianXiwei and Yan An has topped the chart of the top 10 most anticipated upcoming dramas, following rumors of a mid-October premiere. [2026.09.11]🏆
The filming is scheduled to wrap up at the end of the month, but the exact date has not been officially confirmed. Once the specific wrap date is confirmed, it will be shared promptly.
Regarding online support: Large-screen displays and online fan support are currently open.
Regarding offline activities: Specific details are still under negotiation and confirmation, and preparations will be made in advance.
Yeah, that’s just my thought, but the Youku Spring Investment Conference is likely in either April or May, since last year it was held in May as well. But, I’m thinking it might be too early to prepare for that.
What happened. I saw it on sm but can't find anything else. I heard his fanclub released statement but I can't…
