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.
