| “A Temporary Farewell”: Team Behind Late Summer and Early Spring Speaks Out |
Bit of a curveball for ZiYu & Wei Xiao Xun fans this week—on 31 July 2025, the production team behind the upcoming Chinese short series Late Summer and Early Spring (aka Chi Xia Yu Zao Chun) dropped the news that the highly-anticipated release won’t be happening on 2 August after all.
The official statement explained the delay was due to a need to “optimise post-production details”—essentially polishing things up a bit more before the big premiere.
A new air date hasn’t been set yet, but the team promised to keep viewers in the loop with updates via their social media.
Starring rising stars Zi Yu and Wei XiaoXun, the short-form romance had already stirred up buzz thanks to its nostalgic summer vibes and fresh chemistry between the leads. Many were gearing up to binge it this weekend, so naturally, the news came as a bit of a disappointment.
