Interior Chinatown (Hulu)
Stars: Jimmy O. Yang, Chloe Bennet, Ronny Chieng, Tzi Ma, Lisa Gilroy, Sullivan Jones, Chau Long, Lauren Tom
Charles Yu brings his novel Interior Chinatown to the small screen with this Hulu miniseries. The show follows Willis Wu (Silicon Valley’s Jimmy O. Yang), who feels like a background character trapped in a police procedural. As he struggles to figure out his purpose, Willis discovers family secrets and other strange facts about his world. Taika Waititi is on board to direct. It’s frankly exciting to see a TV show like Interior Chinatown in the pipeline, and how it adds to the diverse stories about Asian Americans we’ll be seeing on TV this year. [Saloni Gajjar]
