China's first AIGC long series, 'Post Journey to the West,' premieres on August 31, 2026, on Mango TV and Hunan Satellite TV's prime time slot. Produced by Mango TV's AIGC Innovation Content Center and directed by Bojing Culture, it is the country's first AIGC long-form drama. Based on an anonymous Ming-Qing dynasty novel, the series follows a new generation of heroes reassembling to retrieve lost scriptures after the original journey. The first season, 'Journey to the West: Flower Fruit Mountain,' has 30 episodes, each 40 minutes, released in five installments on August 31, with Mango TV SVIP members viewing three episodes early. The series uses an innovative 'review while broadcasting' model, enabling dynamic adjustments based on regulatory feedback and audience reactions. It merges the original forty chapters with existing plotlines from 'Journey to the West,' creating a cohesive narrative. The story begins a thousand and eight years after the original journey, with the scriptures lost and a new stone monkey, Sun Xiao Sheng, emerging on Flower Fruit Mountain. The series explores the mystery of the 'death register' and the disappearance of the Ten Elders, leading Sun Xiao Sheng on a quest to restore the scriptures.
