“Guys like us don’t become the heroes.” “Then what are you training so hard for?” Hulu has revealed the official trailer for a fun crime comedy series called Interior Chinatown, inspired by the book of the same name. Arriving for streaming in November this fall. This plays like a bit of a spin on the Free Guy concept mixed with the Chinatown film. Based on Charles Yu’s novel, the show follows the story of Willis Wu, who is a background character trapped in a police procedural called “Black & White”. Stuck in the background, Willis goes through the motions of his on-screen job… But 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. Featuring Jimmy O. Yang as Willis, Ronny Chieng, Chloe Bennet, Lisa Gilroy, Sullivan Jones, Archie Kao, and Diana Lin. With a pilot episode that’s directed by Taika Waititi. This looks like it’s going to be good! I dig the concept especially with these actors playing the main roles. I wonder what the mystery is? And it looks like they’re trying different style in each episode?
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Hulu’s comedy series Interior Chinatown, direct from YouTube:
