The Double is one of the most popular Chinese dramas to release in 2024. The thriller Chinese drama, featuring Wu Jinyan and Wang Xingyue in lead roles, premiered on June 2, 2024. The drama has broken several records in a very short period of time and has raised demands for season 2. It tells the story of Xue Fang Fei (Wu Jinyan), the scholarly daughter of the magistrate, who is betrayed by her husband. From falsely being accused of being an adulterer to her husband attempting to murder her, life keeps throwing numerous hurdles in her way. But she survives and rises from the ashes like a phoenix to punish those who wronged her.
Throughout her journey, she has Duke Xiao Heng (Wang Xingyue), her benefactor, by her side. They fall in love and ultimately tie the knot in the last episode. The complicated yet satisfying story of how Fang Fei takes on her enemies and finds a second chance at love with Duke Su leaves viewers wanting more. The ambiguity of the final episode makes viewers curious whether the drama will get a sequel.
The Double Chinese drama: Will there be a season 2?
In the last episode of the drama, Xiao Heng goes to war. He loses all his loyal subordinates and faces the enemy forces alone. The final scene shows him covered in blood, determined to take on the enemy as they close in on him. Meanwhile, Fang Fei waits for him at the capital, unaware of the adversity that has befallen her husband.
The drama has enough material to render a second season that can explore the couple’s journey in depth. But directors Bai Yunmo, Lu Hao Jiji, and Ma Shige, or Youku, The Double’s primary broadcasting network, have yet to comment on a sequel to the popular costume series.
While waiting for updates about a second season, fans can delve into the intricate world of The Double, which is available for streaming on Youku and Netflix.
