In 2007 Shanghai-based Dragon TV bought the rights for a live-action drama adaptation to the fanatically-followed manga, Prince of Tennis, with much support and enthusiasm from its writer, Takeshi Konomi who hoped this would help promote his beloved manga in the Chinese market. Konomi personally approved of the choice of Qin Junjie as the lead, Ryoma, or Long Ma in this adaption.

Now a year after the production on that began, production has begun for the second season, picking up where the last season left off, as the team heads towards the national championships. This season features a new lead actress and multiple guest stars. Purported additions to the cast may include Wu Jianfei, Kimi Qiao Renliang and BOBO. Mai Haisheng, Yu Siyuan of B.I.Z, Gao Xiaochen and Jacky Xue Zhiqian are confirmed and will be players on an opponent team.
