TV Shows & Broadcast Series
Full-service television production for networks, streamers, and international broadcasters throughout China.
Television and broadcast series production makes episodic content for network, cable, and streaming release. These shoots run inside set broadcast workflows. They must meet tech standards, delivery dates, and timelines that call for skilled crews and tight day-to-day management across whole seasons.
We support television and broadcast series, setting up the steady crew, gear, and location needs that episodic work demands. Our team runs the logistics of series production, so your show holds even quality and stays on schedule from pilot through the season finale.

Episodic broadcast and streaming series production across China
Television and streaming series production in China spans a field of networks and platforms with few rivals in scale. It takes in CCTV and its many state channels, Hunan TV and Mango TV in Changsha, Zhejiang TV in Hangzhou, Dragon TV in Shanghai, and Phoenix TV out of Hong Kong. The streaming sites iQIYI, Tencent Video, Youku and Bilibili add hundreds of millions of paying subscribers on top.
We support episodic series shooting in China, with stage space at Hengdian World Studios in Zhejiang, the Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis Wanda complex, Chedun Movie Town outside Shanghai, and the China Film Group Huairou base outside Beijing. Our team covers the steady departmental needs of season-long shoots. That means script oversight, scene matching, casting through Mandarin and Cantonese, location blocking across Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and the Hengdian and Chedun backlots, plus the multi-unit scheduling that high-episode Chinese series usually need.
Series for iQIYI, Tencent Video, Youku and Mango TV deliver to streaming specs in HD and 4K HDR, while CCTV, Hunan TV, Zhejiang TV and Dragon TV broadcast deliveries follow NRTA tech standards. Chinese scripted television often runs 30, 40 or 60 episodes per season, far above Western drama orders. Our scheduling, location-blocking and parallel-unit workflows are built around that reality.
On the ground the picture gets more precise. NRTA script pre-approval governs sensitive-content review around PLA, religion, ethnic minorities, time-travel and supernatural themes, and we coordinate with network and platform editorial through the approval cycle. Global co-productions go through CFCC, and we handle bilingual crewing and treaty paperwork from start to finish. Post-production runs through Base FX, More VFX, Pixomondo Shanghai and the Beijing and Shanghai audio-post houses, all delivering to network and streaming-platform tech specs.
FAQ
Our Television Network
What types of TV series do you support in China?
We support every series format: scripted dramas, comedies, limited series, procedurals, period pieces, and global co-productions. Our experience spans network television, premium cable, and streaming-site originals.
How do you handle multi-episode scheduling?
We build lean shoot schedules that block scenes by location rather than episode order, which makes the most of each site and cuts down on company moves. Each schedule weighs actor availability, location access, and the season.
Can you support second unit and parallel production?
Yes. We often run multi-unit shoots with separate crews for main unit, second unit, and specialty shots. Our team handles scheduling, gear, and crew planning across all the parallel units.
What broadcast standards do you deliver to?
We deliver to every major broadcast and streaming spec, including HD, 4K, HDR, and platform-specific tech needs. Our post partners make sure each deliverable meets the exact spec of your platform.
Do you provide casting services for series?
We connect shoots with skilled Chinese casting directors who know both local talent markets and the needs of global shoots. They handle principal casting, day players, and background talent across China.
How do you manage series continuity across episodes?
Our script supervisors and department heads keep detailed scene-matching records across every episode. We set up systems that track costumes, props, set dressing, and character details, so the series stays consistent throughout.
