Interior Chinatown Hulu Series: Release Date, Trailer & Cast!

Interior Chinatown: Get Ready for a Mind-Bending Hulu Series!

Hulu's Interior Chinatown: A Hilarious, Action-Packed Mystery!

Hulu just dropped the trailer for Interior Chinatown, and it looks wild! Based on Charles Yu's 2020 National Book Award-winning novel (and written like a screenplay!), this series stars Jimmy O. Yang (Silicon Valley) as Willis Wu, a guy who accidentally stumbles into a huge mystery and finds himself caught up in Chinatown's criminal underworld.   This awesome ensemble cast includes Chloe Bennet (Agents of SHIELD) as Detective Lana Lee and Ronny Chieng as Fatty Choi. Get ready for something totally unique.

The trailer showcases Willis' dissatisfaction with life – he’s stuck playing cliché background roles in a TV show (a police procedural which is referred to as Black and White in Yu's novel). To make ends meet he’s a waiter at the Golden Palace. His dreams remain unfulfilled – for so long– that is. But this all changes rather dramatically! A crime brings everything together. The show gets surprisingly serious; and very serious: He forms an unlikely partnership with Detective Lee; pushing him into a crazy, intense situation.   It is marketed as that amazing show full of “mind-bending adventures!” Think Taika Waititi levels of humor; it looks absurd, unexpected – and maybe a little surreal.  Get ready for something unlike anything you've seen before!   This particular trailer makes some compelling hints toward some deep mysteries which is going to really keep fans waiting for more and this creates the momentum needed for releasing an episodic show on Hulu!

Unpacking the Trailer: What to Expect in Interior Chinatown

The trailer opens with Yang's Willis longing for more than his current job. That role, and life, totally represent what the viewers should expect: Those kinds of unfulfilled desires and how that frustration affects these characters throughout the narrative! He’s clearly been trying to break free from playing just those stereotypical supporting characters for so long – something that the creators showcase wonderfully well; the initial sense of dissatisfaction and wanting something more are shown at the start and create that hook to engage the viewers.

Yu’s novel itself has tons of great reviews—called “Rave” on Book Marks;  with various accolades. They describe the show as Hollywood satire, a mind-bending narrative adventure, this kind of surreal take on family drama; with elements of darkly funny writing and very, very experimental plot developments.  Fans love what that book promised;  and from what the trailer demonstrates: all those great, great ideas are coming to life!

This trailer?  Awesome! Pure, unadulterated comedy-action fun– those genre-bending aspects are likely to resonate for a younger audience, especially if it keeps that fast pace and exciting plots that the trailer already introduces! The Taika Waititi influence seems everywhere, folks; it adds this great element of absurdity, making this show something more to wait for – an insane comedic adventure full of surprises, with various unpredictable and utterly bizarre scenarios presented for each episode; which are seemingly going to completely impact every decision those characters involved would take! But we hope those ambitions concerning how they would explore familial relationships; their exploration of that unique perspective remains the most compelling selling point and demonstrates just why that kind of heartfelt narrative would attract some audience members interested in more deep familial explorations than typical network episodic shows. The depth is surprisingly deep and there is a real possibility to produce some profound thematic implications in the show!
