“The Mermaid” Chinese Theatrical Poster

Filmmaker Stephen Chow and co-director Tian Yusheng (Ex-Files 2) have been busy working on the sequel to his 2016 hit The Mermaid, which became the all-time highest grossing film at the Chinese box office.

For the sequel, Lin Yun (Genghis Khan) returns as a mermaid called Shan Shan. She is joined by Allen Ai (Stop) and Sun Zhen Ni (Cupid’s Apprentice). According to AFS, Deng Chao and Kris Wu are not returning.

Originally, The Mermaid 2 was scheduled for release during the Chinese New Year holiday in 2020, but considering it’s still in production, we’ll have to wait and see.

We will keep you posted as soon as we hear more about the much-anticipated film!
