On 9th April, during the “Fresh Content from China” conference at the World Content Market – Moscow, Zhangyuxuan Qiao, Manager of International Distribution at Shanghai Linmon Pictures, presented the much-anticipated second season of the crime thriller “Under the Skin”.
Building on the success of the first season, the new chapter continues to explore the theme of “Painting Color and Seeing People’s Hearts” — delving into the complexity of human nature through forensic portraiture. The story follows the Beijiang investigation squad, led by simulation portraitist Shen Yi and criminal police captain Du Cheng, as they work together to unravel emotional and psychological puzzles behind each case and pursue the true culprits hiding in plain sight.
“Under the Skin 2” offers a unique blend of procedural drama, character-driven storytelling, and refined visual style. It continues to impress with its intelligent structure, suspenseful narrative, and deep moral questions.
At the China Pavilion stand, Shanghai Linmon Pictures held multiple meetings with Russian TV broadcasters and OTT platforms, where “Under the Skin 2” attracted strong interest. Industry professionals praised the series for its cinematic quality and international potential — especially among audiences who appreciate psychological thrillers and character-led crime dramas.
The presentation of “Under the Skin 2” in Moscow reflected Shanghai Linmon Pictures’ commitment to global content development and its strategic push to bring premium Chinese dramas to international screens.
