It was reported The Confidant is really going to have a sequel. According to the report, the story began during Emperor Guang-hsu's (Oscar Leung) reign and ended with his and Emperor Dowager Cixi (Michelle Yim) deaths, while Lee Lin Yin (Wayne Lai) leaves the Forbidden City. In the sequel, the characters that died comes back to life, including Cixi, 6th Wong Yeh (KK Cheung), Seung Hei (Raymond Wong) and Sam Shun (Power Chan). The good people from the first season, Lee Lin Yin (Wayne Lai) and Empress Dowager Cixi will turn evil in the sequel. They will join forces to go against Emperor Guang-hsu. It is not known whether Sin Yung (Nancy Wu), who survived in the alternative ending, will be back for the sequel or not.
Wayne said he has not received notice on this sequel yet, but he anticipates to see this sequel actually happen. KK Cheung said, at least should finish shooting Rosy Business 3 first before this sequel could start. Oscar Leung said: "I heard TVB is starting The Confidant sequel next year, I really hope to be part of it and collaborate with the original cast again. A friend said, 'The Emperor you portrayed already died!' I said, 'I hope I can continue portraying Emperor Guang-hsu!'"
