Sapphic lovers, rejoice, because filming for the critically acclaimed lesbian series ‘Fragrance of the First Flower’ is officially underway!

In a press release by GagaOOLala, it has been announced that a new season is currently shooting due to the overwhelming clamor of fans for a sequel. And viewers will be glad to know that this season will have the original cast come back, including actors ZaiZai Lin and Lyan Cheng. New characters will also be introduced as well, which will add excitement and complexity to the plot. It is also said to have an enhanced production value and will have 12 episodes compared to the first series which only had six.

Katie Chou, Head of Acquisition and Affiliate Sales at GagaOOLala, said that there is a strong demand for authentic queer Asian content from both Eastern and Western audiences which is evident in the anticipation for a sequel from those who acquired the rights to the first season of the show.

‘Fragrance of the First Flower’ follows the life of Yi-Ming (played by Lin), a married woman with a son, who finds herself reunited with Ting-Ting (played by Cheng), a girl from her past. Their fateful encounter opens the possibility for Yi-ming to escape her monotonous married life.

The plot for season two will have Yi-Ming embarking on a new chapter as a newly divorced single mother and a career woman. This will bring obstacles and dilemmas as she navigates the trials and tribulations of being a single parent and the societal pressures that come with it. Yi-Ming will have to think about whether she can truly follow her heart and pursue a life with Ting-Ting.

Fans will have to wait though, as it is scheduled for global release in 2024. Meanwhile, you can watch the first season of ‘Fragrance of the First Flower’ on GagaOOLala.
