In FILMART 2022, TVB featured "Kids' Lives Matter II". Although it was rumoured that, apart from Linda [Chung], other actors, such as the original cast of Kevin Cheng, Kenneth Ma, Him Law, Bowie Cheung, Catherine Chau, et al. would be filming it; however, [on.cc] has received news that it will be a brand-new cast and story this time, and it is tentatively scheduled to start shooting in July. TVB persuaded Linda to film many times, but she declined in the end. Him, Kevin, Kenneth, et al. will also not be staying on. This series' producer, Fong Wang Cheuk, frankly said in an interview, "The company does have such an idea. Also in the process of arranging it now. Getting the story done first...also revolving around a children's hospital". Talking about the matter of Linda losing out on the award making many people dissatisfied and unhappy, would it cause her to no longer consider it? The producer said, "She did not say that she was declining. Has to think about it first: first, the pandemic situation, and secondly, also has to take care of [her] children". As for Kevin, the producer said that he has several jobs on hand...also must look at the situation.
Linda also accepted an interview with on.cc the other day. Regarding the previous matter of [Wong] Cho Lam falling out with upper management for her sake, she only said, "I have been a free agent for almost four years. I really don't know what happens within TVB, so it is not convenient to respond". Asked if she would film "Kids' II" and what factors need to be considered, she said, "Very happy to know that the series will be having a sequel because we really need series with encouraging and positive themes, and also very grateful that some projects have also contacted me about collaborating, but after discussing it with my husband, we also have a consensus. Have decided that [I] would be taking a break this year...focusing on taking care of [my] family first. Hope that the series crew films smoothly and everyone is healthy".
Linda has decided not to film; her partner in the series, Kevin, also said in an interview, "The producer has contacted me, but because [I] have some jobs on hand being discussed, have to check the schedule first. The producer also mentioned that it would be a brand-new story, so have to see if the role is suitable or not first". Kenneth, whose work has currently been suspended and is waiting for the company's notice to film "Legal Spokespeople" again, said in an interview, "I haven't received the notice yet, but I may also not necessarily be able to film it. I also think that it doesn't necessarily need the original lineup. They want to film a new story. Merely need the original lineup for those behind the scenes! Would not necessarily be so for those before the screen!"
