Is Justifiable Defence coming back?

Justifiable Defence ended on July 15, 2025, after its first season aired on the iQIYI web platform.

The series was a legal and mystery drama that premiered in July 2025. It followed veteran prosecutor Duan Hongshan and young prosecutor Fang Lingyuan as they investigated a case involving domestic abuse and its legal implications. Their work uncovered connections to a previous case from fourteen years earlier, involving a campus self-defense incident, which was also handled by Duan Hongshan. The show explored themes of justice, morality, and the complexities of law through their careful examination of the facts and human sentiment.

The show had a runtime of approximately 41 minutes per episode and consisted of 15 episodes in its single season.
