It was back in December last year that it was revealed that the script for “Nirvana in Fire 3” has been completed.

However, despite many rumours of its casting, no actors have been announced for the time being.

The first series, which was released in 2015, became a huge hit, and launched its stars like Hu Ge and Wang Kai into stardom. However, the second series did not receive as much love from the fans due to the absence of the original actors, though it still scored a high viewership rating.
