Chinese drama release calendar: November 2026
November opens with a run of finales. The Lament of Autumn finished on Mango TV on November 1, Youku's Where the Mask Ends followed on November 3, and Xiao Zhan's medical drama Small Town Remedy sold its last three episodes early on iQIYI from November 1, with regular VIP members getting the finale on November 4. My Loong's finale unlocked for paying viewers on October 29, and regular VIP members on WeTV and Tencent Video reach it on November 6, while Tigers Sniff the Rose keeps airing on Tencent Video through most of the month.
On the premiere side, iQIYI has two big titles lined up. When I Meet the Moon, the last of Zhu Yi's Nanwu novels after Hidden Love and The First Frost, premieres on November 5 on iQIYI, with Jiangsu TV airing it nightly at 7:30 p.m. Beijing time, and runs 27 episodes. River of No Return, Cheng Yi and Lin Gengxin's Ming-dynasty thriller from Ma Boyong's novel, is slated for November without a date, so it isn't on the list below yet. Dates marked as estimated can move, and we update this page as platforms announce them.
