Production has wrapped in Beijing on “VIII: Awakening,” KC Global Media Asia’s fantasy adventure drama reimagining a classic Chinese mythology legend for modern audiences.

The S-grade series, the company’s first original China production, completed 24 15-minute episodes for its debut season.

The story follows insurance investigator Lu Xian, who awakens a mysterious precognitive power and discovers he is descended from an ancient legendary guardian. He must join forces with seven others to thwart a dangerous plot as an imprisoned clan of dragons threatens its return. The group uncovers betrayal within its own ranks and faces a battle for the fate of the world, ultimately awakening their true powers and restoring peace, though a new threat emerges quietly in the shadows. The series centers on Immortals whose supernatural gifts let them fight evil and protect those in need, combining suspense with fantasy and gentle humor.
