Think you could bring down a criminal conspiracy? Well, this one’s for all you “armchair detectives”. The upcoming Hulu series Interior Chinatown just revealed its first trailer.
The story follows Willis Wu, a background character trapped in a police procedural called “Black & White.” Relegated to the background, Willis goes through the motions of his on-screen job waiting tables, dreaming about a world beyond Chinatown and aspiring to be the lead of his own story. When Willis inadvertently becomes a witness to a crime, he begins to unravel a criminal web in Chinatown, while discovering his own family’s buried history and what it feels like to be in the spotlight.
The series adapts Charles Yu’s award-winning book of the same name. Yu executive produces the series, along with Dan Lin and Lindsey Liberatore for Rideback; Jeff Skoll, Miura Kite, and Elsie Choi for Participant; Garrett Basch for Dive; and John Lee. Taika Waititi also executive produces and directed the pilot episode.
Interior Chinatown stars Jimmy O. Yang as Willis Wu, Ronny Chieng as Fatty Choi, and Chloe Bennet as Detective Lana Lee. The cast also includes Lisa Gilroy, Sullivan Jones, Archie Kao, and Diana Lin.
The ten-episode limited series is produced by 20th Television. It will premiere on Hulu Tuesday, November 19. Until then, check back to THS for more updates.
