A TV show based on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is currently in the works at Prime Video.
Per Deadline, the series stems from writer/executive producer Jason Ning and executive producer Ron Moore. The duo has deals at Sony Pictures, which owns the rights to the source material.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is based on the Crane-Iron novel series by Wang Dulu. Per the synopsis, the series follows Shu Lien and Mu Bai, “two star-crossed warriors who struggle between forbidden love and the pull of modernity — caught between preserving their way of life or embracing a future together.”
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was previously adapted into a feature film by Ang Lee. Released in 2000, the movie starred Chow Yun-fat as Li Mu Bai, Michelle Yeoh as Yu Shu Lien, Zhang Ziyi as Jen Yu, and Chang Chen as Lo “Dark Cloud” Xiao Hou. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon grossed $213 million worldwide, including $128 million in the United States, becoming the first foreign-language movie to earn over $100 million in the U.S.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon received universal acclaim, garnering 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. It won Best Foreign Language Film and remains one of the crowning achievements of the 21st century.
Ning is best known for his work on The Brothers Sun, Lucifer, and Perception. Moore is an executive producer on Outlander and For All Mankind.
Executive producers on the Amazon series include Ning, Moore, Maril Davis, Johnny Levin, Roy Lee, Hong Wang, and Qin Wang. Ying Lou is co-executive producing.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
