Zhang Xincheng in The Stars C drama

The cast for the upcoming 16-episode Chinese sci-fi drama The Stars has been announced, along with booting ceremony photographs of the main cast.

Here’s everything we know about the drama so far. Not a huge amount, I must admit, but it is a sci-fi and, as they are few and far between coming out of China, it’s one to keep an eye on.

Along with the release of The Stars booting ceremony photos, Tencent also commented:

When extraterrestrial signals are detected, the laws of the universe may be rewritten—humanity stands at a crossroads of destiny. The future is closer than ever.

Like I said, not overwhelming details that’s for sure, but more will obviously drop as filming starts and more production details are finalized.

I will update you as more information drops, although this one seems to have been kept under lock and key a lot more than most.
