The previous 5 seasons of Behind the Spotlight were created specifically for the Chinese market and have been successfully aired on some major TV channels such as CCTV6 - the most influential movie channel in China with around 900 million monthly viewers - and East Movie Channel - a local film channel of Shanghai with a total viewership of around 16 million people. The show is also well-received on the two largest online streaming platforms in China: iQiyi and Tencent.

 

Although the previous seasons are more focused on one-on-one interviews with guests from the film industry, the new version of the show focuses more on documenting the process of filmmaking and craft-making behind-the-scenes.
