Demons, supernatural powers, and millennia-old jiangshi inhabit this new animated action series about a Chinese American teen living in a small Texas town who finds out a demon king is hunting her – like being a teenager isn’t hard enough!
Netflix has shared teaser art and the cast lineup for its new 2D animated series Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld from first-time show-runner Echo Wu and executive producers Ali Wong (Beef) and Aron Eli Coleite (Locke & Key). Wong also stars, alongside Bowen Yang, Lori Tan Chinn, Lucy Liu, Jimmy O. Yang, Sheng Wang, and Woosung Kim.
In the series, Jentry Chau (voiced by Wong), a Chinese American teen living in a small Texas town, discovers that a demon king is hunting her for the supernatural powers she’s been working her whole life to repress. With the help of her weapons expert great-aunt and a millennia-old jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampire), Jentry must now fight an entire underworld’s worth of monsters while balancing the horrors of high school.
Chris Prynoski (The Legend of Vox Machina), Shannon Prynoski (Fairfax), Antonio Canobbio (Arlo the Alligator Boy), and Ben Kalina (Big Mouth) executive produce for Titmouse.
No release date was announced.
