Just a month before its debut on Hulu, the first trailer for Inner Chinatown was released. Based on the 2020 novel of the same name by Charles Yu, which won the 2020 National Book Award for Fiction, the series will follow Silicon Valley Jimmy O Young as Willis Wu, Who accidentally witnesses a crime and starts to discover family secrets and Chinatown’s criminal underground. The cast also features Agent of Shield Chloe Bennet as Detective Lana Lee and Ronnie Chieng as Fatty Choi.
Hulu has released the first official trailer for Inner Chinatown. It consoles Willis’ dissatisfaction with life, insists on playing clichéd characters and working in the seemingly banal Golden Palace. Things take a turn when he teams up with Lana, who informally recruits him because she needs someone who knows the famous neighborhood, and Willis’ journey becomes dangerous, wild and somewhat surreal. Watch the full trailer below:
What this means for inland Chinatown
The trailer for Inner Chinatown opens with Yang’s character longing for a change in life, as he’s stuck playing the same kind of stereotypical background roles for a police procedural (in the book, it’s called Black and white), supplemented his income by working as a waiter at the Golden Palace. The trailer markets Inner Chinatown As a “Mind-bending new series for the dreamer in all of us. Before long, Willis gets his wish, being propelled into a world and role he’s been preparing and asking for his entire life.

Our trailer for The Interior Chinatown
Inner Chinatown Trailer is full of comedy and actionForming an amalgamation of genre-bending fun. With the comedic talents of filmmaker Taika Waititi on board, who directed the pilot episode, viewers should expect a hint of comedy throughout the series, which is evident in every nook and cranny of the trailer. I’m more excited about what it has to say about family dynamics and relationships. It’s a lot to take in, so I hope that the adaptation of Inner Chinatown Is up for the challenge of spinning several plates at once.
Inner Chinatown is available to stream on Hulu on November 19.
