Wong Kar-Wai's upcoming TV series Blossoms Shanghai has released its first trailer, giving viewers a peek at the first new work from the auteur in nearly a decade.

Though Wong is most often thought of as a Hong Kong director, he was born in Shanghai. The Blossoms series is his first of two long-anticipated adaptations of a celebrated eponymous novel by Jin Yucheng, and appears to be a stylish love letter to his hometown. A film version of Blossoms is also in the works.
