POTENTIALLY CANCELED BL (AS OF FEB 2025)

Listed as coming out in 2021, but no updates that I can see. May be canceled, which is a shame, because BL thrillers are rare.

One to several years without updates, but I hope it still happens.

This was announced four years ago (as of Feb 2025) and hasn't had any updates in a long time. Looks like this one may be canceled.

No updates in a long time, and very little info since the initial announcement. Not looking good.

One to several years without updates. Don't get your hopes up.

One to several years without updates. Don't get your hopes up. Even if this is made, there's a chance it'll lose its essence, since it's likely to be censored in China. But they're finding ways to get around that stuff by only releasing it outside of the country, so who knows. 

No updates for a while, and talk of rights issues months ago. They seemed ready and raring to go a while back, but it's been silent since. This one may not make it out.

It's been a long time with no updates. I'm sad to say this one may not ever air.

Likely canceled, but no official announcement yet.

At least three years with no updates. Likely canceled, but no official announcement yet.

Missed deadline with no updates. Possibly canceled. 

Very likely canceled, but no official announcement yet.

Possibly canceled as current lead actor is a murderer, but they could potentially recast his role. Here's hoping there's justice for his poor girlfriend. That's obviously more important than the show coming out.

Honestly, looks like a mess, might be canceled, but it could still come out.

Likely canceled as it's a gay story in China. Some have managed to get around this without turning it into bromance, but I guess this project has been sitting for a while.

We need more supernatural BL, but this hasn't updated in a long time. So sad.

Over a year without updates, however it's probably for the best. Lots of controversy surrounding the director, and apparently the first season was awful.

Filmed but probably will never be released due to the China ban on BL content. Maybe they'll find a way around it one day.

There were three different Filipino mermaid BL on here, and none of them seem to be moving forward. :(

Seems to have been dropped.

This is supposedly still on, but they recast the lead and have to reshoot a bunch of it, so... I don't know. It's been a long time with no updates. I'm thinking this may actually be canceled.

After being canceled in 2019, this one appeared to be back on the table. However, it had been erroneously updated, due to the show of the same name based on the third novel. These are two different companies, and this version still seems to be canceled. Which is perhaps for the best, given the very controversial and disturbing plot.

No updates for quite a while so placing it here for now, but I'm hoping I'll be able to switch it back to the "coming soon" list.

Filipino BL has been having a lot of bad luck lately. It seems like a lot of it is falling through. We'll see if that changes for any of these.

Long while without updates.

Long while without updates.

No info, no updates. Probably shouldn't get your hopes up here.

Same as above.

No updates for a long time. Potentially another Filipino casualty.

Well over a year with no updates, and a lot of Pinoy stuff seems to flicker in and out. Too bad, since it featured real couples, which would have been cool. EDIT: One of the leads has sadly passed away, further cementing the idea that this is probably canceled.

No updates in a long time, and now three of the leads have had their contracts with the company end. This doesn't look likely.

No updates for a long time. May be canceled. EDIT: New info suggests this was never actually a BL series, but a promotional school project that's been completed and not intended for public release.

I can't find any info on this, and it's been a long time since the page was created. Potentially not happening.

The production team, or someone in charge, expressed running into a lot of problems. Though they stated many months ago that they weren't giving up yet, there haven't been any updates since.

Nothing for over a year, and the company itself has been inactive.

No updates for a long time. This one may have been abandoned.

No updates or further info for a long time.

Supposedly scheduled for September 2023, but there were no updates on its funding, and now none of the websites or social media around it are working. It looks like this one was abandoned.  Over a year without a word, plus the sites all deleted--there isn't much hope here.

One or more years without any updates. This may have been abandoned.

Multiple years without updates, and one of the leads may be quitting acting, so he'd have to be replaced anyway. Things aren't looking good for this one.

Sadly, this hasn't updated in a year or more, so it may be canceled.

As much as it pains me, over a year without updates is unusual for Taiwanese productions, and this interesting concept may have been canceled.

A year or more has passed without updates. Things aren't looking good for this project.

This title seemed doomed from the start and has faced many issues. After a full recasting and numerous other changes, the show was promised to be released soon. Then another year passed with no updates. Might be time to let this one go.

At least two years with no updates, and reportedly both cast leads have left the company.

There isn't a lot of information on this project from the start, but it was estimated to come out quite some time ago and simply hasn't updated in years.

A year or more without updates or any further info.

Several boxing BLs were announced around the same time, and all three were abandoned, it would appear. Wandee Goodday was saved by GMMTV and is scheduled for 2024, but this one has been nothing but radio silence. Probably canceled.

This was a controversial project from the start, and with no updates for nearly two years as of November 2023, it seems unlikely that it will ever be made.

A year or more with no updates or further information.

Virtually no information at all, with a year or more without updates.

No information on the project, no updates in at least a year.

While this looked intriguing, it unfortunately seems to have been abandoned. It was meant to come out in January 2023, but there have been no updates since. Also, apparently multiple people involved have since left the company. No official announcement, but this appears to be dead.

Nothing more than a casting call at least a year ago with no further updates.

Normally I wait at least a year to add a title to this list, but it appears that those involved were trying to get fan-funding through pre-orders and couldn't even fund their special episode. It seems likely that a second season isn't in the cards for them.

This is a common trend with announced Filipino titles. Many never come to pass these days. It's harder to verify, too, as I struggle to find solid sources for Filipino BL content in general, but it's been two or more years without any info on the show.

They'd turned to crowd sourcing, but that was over a year ago, past when it was supposed to air. I think this may be doomed.

Long silence between announcement and now. Not even any hints that it's going on, but then again, you never know with Thai projects. They can pop up again after several years like nothing happened.

The page situation with this one was a mess early on, and we haven't had details in a long while. May not happen.

There were all of these promises, but we haven't heard a thing in over a year. Not sure if that means anything, though their management seems to have them focused elsewhere now. Best not to keep your hopes up.

No word in quite a while.

This seemed like it was moving quickly, then silence.

This seemed to be canceled, then it was brought back from the dead, only to fade into oblivion again. I'm not sure if this will ever see the light of day.

After missing its initial presumed deadline, it's been nothing but silence from this project. It doesn't seem likely it's still on.

My heart is broken, as I was very excited for this show. The cast, the action/mafia plot, how exciting and sexy it looked. It was all everything I'm always looking for in a BL and rarely get. Alas, looks like this company bit off more than it could chew, so unless someone else saves it, like with KinnPorsche, this isn't likely to come out.

This one breaks my heart into pieces like some of the others on this list. I was really looking forward to it, but several years with no word, especially when this isn't a Thai production, makes it likely we're not ever getting the series version of the movie.

Excessive period without any updates, as is the case for many of the projects on this list.

One of the bigger tragedies, given the unusual and exciting plot/costuming, but Domundi is a bit of a mess with casting lately, and I'm not sure if this will ever happen. We can hope, but at the moment, it doesn't seem as likely.
