According to Deadline, Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show) and Chloe Bennet (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) have joined the cast of Interior Chinatown, a new 10 episode series coming to Hulu from 20th Television.
What’s Happening:
- Interior Chinatown follows the story of Willis Wu (Jimmy O. Yang), a background character trapped in a police procedural trying to find his way into the larger story–and along the way discovers secrets about the strange world he inhabits and his family’s buried history.
- Chieng will play Fatty Choi, Willis’s best friend whose passions include video games and malted beverages.
- Bennet will play Detective Lana Lee, a new lead making her debut appearance in the procedural cop show Black & White. Lana brings a new energy to the series’ reliable but overworked premise.
- The series comes from creator Charles Yu, who wrote the 2020 bestseller, Interior Chinatown.
- Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit) will direct the pilot and executive produce.
- This is just the latest of a number of book-to-television adaptations at Hulu, following others like Tiny Beautiful Things, The Other Black Girl, and Black Cake.
