‘A Journey’ Sequel, ‘Moonlit Reunion’ in the Works as China’s Linmon Media Expands Slate of Costume Drama Series


Mainland Chinese film and TV studio Linmon Pictures says it is expanding its commitment to the costume drama series genre.

Previously announced, and the closest of its series to completion, is “Moonlit Reunion,” a romantic-fantasy drama, set in Chang An city during the Tang Dynasty period and starring Xu Kai and Tian Xiwei. In the contemporary register, Linmon used the TIFFCOM presentation to showcase “Under the Skin 2” a glossy and slightly fantastical series about a police detective and a portrait artist with unusual insights. It compared the “Journey” series to HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” albeit with non-specific Chinese cultural elements and a higher number of episodes – as many as 40, when they hit a cap set out in regulations introduced three years ago.
