Chinese streamer iQiyi returns mystery/action period drama “Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty” for a third season next year in a co-production agreement with Singapore-listed production house G.H.Y Culture and Media Holding’s Tianjin Changxin Film and Media.

“Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 3: Chang'an” (“唐朝诡事录之长安”) starts filming this month and is tentatively scheduled to be completed in 2025.

The earlier two seasons were also co-productions with iQiyi.

The first season (“Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty” / “唐朝诡事录”) premiered on iQiyi in September 2022, featuring 40 episodes.

Second season (“Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2: To the West” / “唐朝诡事录之西行”), debuted with 36 episodes in July this year.

G.H.Y told investors that the success of "Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty” built out its business focus on the supernatural genre.
