No, ‘Pursuit of Jade’ (also known as Zhu Yu or Chasing Jade) has not been renewed for Season 2, and it is considered unlikely.
This 2026 Chinese historical romance C-drama (40 episodes) starring Zhang Linghe (as Xie Zheng/Yan Zheng) and Tian Xiwei (as Fan Changyu) premiered on March 6, 2026, on platforms like Tencent Video, iQIYI, Dragon TV, and Netflix (for international simulcast). It wrapped up its run around March 26–30, 2026.
Why Season 2 Is Unlikely
Complete adaptation: The series fully adapts the web novel Zhu Yu by Tuanzi Laixi. The story has a self-contained narrative arc with central conflicts resolved, the leads achieving a happy ending (reuniting, serving the country, and living peacefully), and no major loose threads.1cef6f
No official announcements: As of mid-April 2026, there are zero confirmations from the production team, studios (iQIYI, Tencent, etc.), cast, or platforms about a sequel. Wikipedia and other reliable sources list it as a single-season series.2781d4
Fan demand exists but isn’t enough yet: There’s strong viewer buzz, petitions, social media discussions, and high viewership (e.g., it became one of Netflix’s most-watched C-dramas and hit billions of views domestically). Some fans want more (like extended wedding scenes or side stories), and there was talk of a cast reunion/celebration. However, this hasn’t translated into official renewal talks.b95239
About Those “Season 2 Trailers”
YouTube videos titled as “official” Season 2 trailers (often featuring Zhang Linghe and Tian Xiwei) are fan-made concept edits or clickbait, not real. They appeared after the finale and explicitly note in descriptions that they’re for entertainment. Real trailers or announcements would come from official studio channels.6d520e
Everything Else We Know So Far (as of April 2026)
Plot summary (no major spoilers): It follows a marriage of convenience between a butcher’s daughter (Fan Changyu) and a disgraced noble (Xie Zheng) amid political intrigue, war, romance, and personal growth. It blends historical elements, mystery, action, and heartfelt romance.
Enjoy the 40 episodes as a complete story—it’s designed that way. If massive ongoing popularity or a spin-off idea emerges, things could change (common in C-dramas), but right now there’s no momentum for an official Season 2. Fans are mostly in “post-finale withdrawal” mode rather than expecting more episodes
