No date had been announced by 27 September 2026. Wu Lei's last Tencent drama, Amidst a Snowstorm of Love, premiered about 8 months after wrapping (end of May 2023 to 2 February 2024); 8 months from 4 May 2026 is early January 2027, so this uses the last week of Tencent's stated window, 28 December 2026. A fan post's guess of late 2026 to 2027 is unconfirmed. Re-date when Tencent announces the date.^[1]

  剑来 (Jian Lai, "The One") is Tencent Video's 24-episode live-action wuxia fantasy adapted from Fenghuo Xi Zhuhou's web novel, starring Wu Lei (吴磊) as the poor alley boy Chen Ping'an, with Chang Chen (张震) and Li Wanda (李宛妲) in special appearances. Its first season, 笼中雀, was shot in Jiande, Hangzhou from November 2025 to May 2026. Tencent has said only that it will launch in the second half of 2026, so the premiere shown here is an estimate.

Drama bloggers report a tentative 20 October 2026 premiere on Tencent Video (21 October has also been mentioned), and a 25 September post on its Mid-Autumn promo says late October, but no date had been announced by 27 September. The leads' previous pairing, Blossom (九重紫), wrapped on 27 March 2024 and premiered on 6 December 2024, about 8 months later; the same gap from a February 2026 wrap lands in October 2026, so the reported 20 October date is used. Re-date when Tencent announces the date.^[1]

  尚公主 (Shang Gong Zhu, "Tigers Sniff the Rose") is Tencent Video's 40-episode period romance of court intrigue, reuniting Meng Ziyi (孟子义) as Princess Mu Wanyao and Li Yunrui (李昀锐) as the low-born strategist Yan Shang for their third drama together.

Xu Bing's previous Tencent drama Huan Yan was finished in September 2022 and premiered on 15 July 2023, about 10 months later, while Dilraba's Tencent drama Bai Ri Ti Deng took 14 months from wrap (3 February 2025) to premiere (28 March 2026). This splits the difference at about 12 months: mid-February 2027. Baidu^[2] Baike still lists a 2026 plan from Tencent's 2026 slate and a July 2026 blogger post guesses 2028; neither is an announcement. Re-date once Tencent Video announces the date.

  九重天 (Jiu Chong Tian, "Winds Beyond the Wall") is Tencent Video's nine-unit anthology from writer-director Xu Bing (Red, Huan Yan), set in a Fujian tulou stockade between 1911 and 1945, with a rotating all-star cast that reportedly includes Dilraba Dilmurat and Yin Fang; no official cast list has been published. Filming reportedly wrapped in February 2026. No air date has been announced, so the premiere shown here is an estimate.
