The drama has had its distribution licence (30 episodes) since mid-2025 and released its first trailer on 23 September 2026, when iQIYI showed it on its 2027 slate. Liu Cixin's other long-delayed series, Three-Body, premiered 14 months after its first trailer and 7 months after its second, while it still waited for approval; Ball Lightning is already licensed, so this uses about nine months after the first trailer: 23 June 2027. Highly uncertain. Re-date when iQIYI announces.^[1]

  球状闪电 (Ball Lightning) is iQIYI's 30-episode adaptation of Liu Cixin's science-fiction novel, produced by Chen Sicheng and directed by Dai Mo, starring Wang Anyu (王安宇) as Chen Guang, who chases ball lightning after it kills his parents, with Tong Yao (童瑶), Zhou Yiwei and Yang Lixin. Shot in 2022 and licensed in 2025, it released its first trailer in September 2026. No air date has been announced, so the premiere shown here is an estimate.

The drama wrapped on 12 November 2025 and received its distribution licence in mid-May 2026, but talk of a summer release came to nothing. Its sister dramas moved faster: Hidden Love aired seven months after wrapping and The First Frost about ten weeks after passing review, so both gaps have already been exceeded. The official account opened reservations with a new video at iQIYI's 23 September showcase, so this assumes about eight weeks more: 18 November 2026. Re-date when iQIYI announces.^[1]

  折月亮 (Zhe Yue Liang, "When I Meet the Moon") is iQIYI's 27-episode romance adapted from Zhu Yi's novel, the last of the Nanwu trilogy after Hidden Love and The First Frost, starring Lu Yuxiao (卢昱晓) as the socially anxious Yun Li and Lin Yi (林一) as her high-school crush Fu Shize. It was filmed in Xiamen in 2025 and licensed in May 2026. No air date has been announced, so the premiere shown here is an estimate.

Cheng Yi's two most recent iQIYI period dramas premiered about 9 months (Mysterious Lotus Casebook: wrapped October 2022, aired 23 July 2023) and 10.5 months (The Journey of Legend: wrapped 25 October 2024, aired 11 September 2025) after wrapping; the shorter gap from 10 February 2026 gives about 9 November 2026, inside the fourth-quarter window. No date had been announced by 27 September 2026, despite a new trailer at iQIYI's iJOY event on 23 September. Re-date when iQIYI announces the date.^[1]

  两京十五日 (Liang Jing Shi Wu Ri, "River of No Return") is iQIYI's 26-episode Ming-dynasty historical drama starring Cheng Yi (成毅) as the crown prince Zhu Zhanji, who must race up the Grand Canal from Nanjing to Beijing in fifteen days, with Lin Gengxin (林更新) and Jiang Peiyao (姜珮瑶) in special appearances. It adapts Ma Boyong's novel, is directed by Zhang Li and wrapped on 10 February 2026. iQIYI has only pointed to the fourth quarter of 2026, so the premiere shown here is an estimate.
