Netflix denies filming "Midnight in Peking": This is the first time we have heard of it

On May 5, it was reported that Paul French, the British author of Midnight in Peking, said that Netflix would film Midnight in Peking and Jiang Wen would play the role of Police Chief Han Shiqing. However, according to abacus, Netflix denied the news of filming the TV series Midnight in Peking and said that it was the first time they heard of it.

A Netflix spokesperson said in a public statement: "This is the first time we have heard of this project. Netflix has not discussed the production of Midnight in Peking with Paul French and Jiang Wen."

The only confirmed news about Netflix is ​​that it will launch three Chinese original dramas in the second half of this year, namely "Nowhere Man" (formerly known as "Bardo" in English), "Triad Princess" and "Ghost Bride". "Nowhere Man" and "Triad Princess" are Taiwanese dramas, of which "Nowhere Man" will be an eight-episode prison break thriller, while "Ghost Bride" will be produced by Malaysia.

It was previously rumored that the series "Midnight in Peking" will be produced by Netflix, and Jiang Wen will play the role of Police Chief Han Shiqing. The author Paul French also said that Jiang Wen is currently practicing English for three hours a day. He hopes that the series will be like China's "Sherlock Holmes Collection", focusing more on solving cases and reasoning, rather than murder and violence.
