There are bigger budget C-dramas on the shelf due to cancelled lead(s) longer than Night Wanderer but it’s still nice to see this will see the light of day. C-actor Fu Xing Bo was tapped earlier this year to replace cancelled male lead Deng Lun, with him filming his scenes against a green screen and will be AI-faceswapped into the drama. This would have been a big release for iQiyi at the end of 2022 but for Deng Lun’s tax evasion scandal and it’s unfortunate for female lead Ni Ni to become collateral damage with a promising project shelved. Now Fu Xing Bo is all done filming his scenes towards the end of summer and the production is nearly finished with post-production work, and word on the street is that the drama will be submitted for approval in early 2026 and should air shortly after receiving the green light.
