The new drama series will be a sequel to Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty
G.H.Y Culture & Media unit, Tianjin Changxin Film & Media, has entered into a co-production agreement with iQIYI Inc.
Under the agreement, the two parties will co-produce a web drama series titled "Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 3: Chang'an" (唐朝诡事录之长安). Filming is scheduled to begin in October 2024, with the production expected to be completed and handed over in 2025.
The new drama series is the latest sequel to two previous productions: "Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty" (唐朝诡事录) and "Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2: To the West" (唐朝诡事录之西行). These earlier installments aired in 2022 and 2024, respectively.
The co-production is expected to support G.H.Y Culture & Media's business expansion and boost its "IP Franchise" strategy, which maximises the value of its intellectual property ("IP") portfolio.
