No, \u2018Pursuit of Jade\u2019 (also known as Zhu Yu or Chasing Jade) has not been renewed for Season 2, and it is considered unlikely.<\/p>\n
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\u201330, 2026.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Fan demand exists but isn\u2019t enough yet: There\u2019s strong viewer buzz, petitions, social media discussions, and high viewership (e.g., it became one of Netflix\u2019s 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\u2019t translated into official renewal talks.<\/p>\n
YouTube videos titled as \u201cofficial\u201d 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\u2019re for entertainment. Real trailers or announcements would come from official studio channels.<\/p>\n
Everything Else We Know So Far (as of April 2026)<\/strong><\/p>\n Plot summary (no major spoilers): It follows a marriage of convenience between a butcher\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n For the time being, enjoy the 40 episodes as a complete story\u2014it\u2019s designed that way. If massive ongoing popularity or a spin-off idea emerges, things could change (common in C-dramas), but right now there\u2019s no momentum for an official Season 2. Fans are mostly in \u201cpost-finale withdrawal\u201d mode rather than expecting more episodes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No, \u2018Pursuit of Jade\u2019 (also known as Zhu Yu or Chasing Jade) has not been renewed for Season 2, and\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":395,"featured_media":117001,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[36175],"class_list":["post-117000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ott","tag-pursuit-of-jade-returning-for-season-2"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/395"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117000"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117000\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117050,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117000\/revisions\/117050"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
