Wong Kar Wai’s highly anticipated 30-part television series, “Blossoms Shanghai,” is set to make its U.S. debut on the Criterion Channel later this year. This marks the first time the acclaimed director has ventured into the world of television, and fans across North America are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to experience his latest masterpiece.

Based on Jin Yucheng’s award-winning novel from 2013, the series follows the captivating story of Ah Bao, often likened to the “Jay Gatsby of Shanghai,” as he navigates the bustling economic landscape of 1990s Shanghai. With Wong Kar Wai’s distinctive visual style and intricate character development, “Blossoms Shanghai” offers viewers a mesmerizing journey through the city’s vibrant past.

Originally airing in China in late 2023 on Tencent Video and CCTV-8, the series quickly became a massive hit, garnering high ratings and widespread acclaim. Wong Kar Wai expressed his excitement about bringing the series to a North American audience, stating, “The series captures the vitality of Shanghai’s roaring ’90s, revealing universal human truths about desire and destiny.”

Internationally, Mubi has secured rights to distribute the series in various territories, including France, Germany, Italy, Brazil, and India. While specific release dates have yet to be announced, audiences around the world can look forward to experiencing the magic of “Blossoms Shanghai” in the near future.

The success of the series was further solidified at the 2024 Shanghai Television Festival, where it swept the Magnolia Awards, winning accolades for best television series, best actor (Hu Ge), cinematography, art direction, and adapted screenplay. This recognition is a testament to Wong Kar Wai’s unparalleled storytelling and cinematic prowess.

Reuniting with his longtime collaborators, including production designer William Chang and cinematographer Peter Pau, “Blossoms Shanghai” serves as the final installment in Wong’s informal Shanghai trilogy, following in the footsteps of “In the Mood for Love” and “2046.” While the previous films explored Shanghai through the lens of memory and imagination, “Blossoms Shanghai” places the city itself at the heart of the narrative, offering a profound and visually stunning portrayal of its rich history and culture.

As the anticipation continues to build for the North American premiere of “Blossoms Shanghai” on the Criterion Channel, audiences can expect to be captivated by Wong Kar Wai’s unparalleled storytelling and visual artistry. Stay tuned for this groundbreaking series that promises to leave a lasting impact on viewers worldwide.
