A Chinese romantic drama is winning over international audiences. The Early Spring, available on Netflix, explores attraction and ambition, tracking a complicated relationship with plenty of spark.
The show premiered in late August and is currently among the most-watched titles on the streaming platform. With 2.4 million views this week, it’s also #1 in four countries. Could another installment be on the way? Here’s what we know so far.
The Early Spring Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no news available about a potential The Early Spring season 2.
That said, the story seems to be designed as a complete romance based on a web novel by Gu Niang Bie Ku. Depending on how the show wraps up, a follow-up might not be in the cards.

What Is The Early Spring About?
The Early Spring is the ideal watch for viewers who enjoy slow-burn romances and workplace dramas. It follows Flora, a young woman who moves to Beijing to build a career. She lands a job at a prestigious advertising agency where she clashes with Luke, a demanding creative director.
As the two spend more time together, attraction blooms, but a relationship could endanger their professional future.
“I wanted to create something different from a conventional romance drama, from its visual style and character dynamics to its portrayal of intimacy, and explore love from a more mature perspective,” director Chiang Chi-cheng said.
One of the best things about the series is that the main couple have great chemistry. If you’re looking for a show that will sweep you off your feet, this might just fit the bill.
While The Early Spring season 2 is unlikely, more episodes will arrive on Netflix over the next few days. Fingers crossed that these two will work it out by the time the final end credits roll.
