Entertainment reports say the drama is tentatively set for 21 October 2026 on CCTV-8 and iQIYI, with 26 October also mentioned; neither date has been confirmed by iQIYI or CCTV. Director Zhang Xiaobo's earlier Linmon drama 三十而已 premiered about 7.5 months after it wrapped (2 December 2019 to 17 July 2020), and this drama is already seven months past its wrap, so the rumoured 21 October slot is used. Re-date when iQIYI or CCTV-8 announces the date.^[1]

  小城良方 (Xiao Cheng Liang Fang, "Small Town Remedy") is a 28-episode medical comedy-drama starring Xiao Zhan (肖战) as Liu Zhengliang, a Beijing neurosurgeon who lands at a clinic in a small north-eastern town, with Ni Dahong (倪大红) and Jiang Yan (姜妍). Produced by Linmon Media with iQIYI and shot in Jinzhou, Liaoning, it released its first trailer on 23 September 2026. Reports point to a 21 October 2026 premiere on iQIYI and CCTV-8, but no date has been announced, so the date shown here is an estimate.

  Ball Lightning (球状闪电) Premieres

  Hengdian World Studios, Dongyang, Zhejiang, ChinaiQIYI

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.

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.
