Hulu's Interior Chinatown Premieres November 19

Hulu's latest series, Interior Chinatown, based on Charles Yu's award-winning novel, explores the life of Willis Wu, an Asian American actor relegated to background roles in a police procedural. Premiering on November 19, the show critiques Hollywood stereotypes while featuring a predominantly Asian cast, including Jimmy O. Yang, who plays the lead. Hulu's marketing for the series has been extensive, targeting AAPI audiences and utilizing innovative digital strategies. The series aims to challenge the portrayal of Asian Americans in media, reflecting Yu's experiences and those of his immigrant parents. All ten episodes will be available for binge-watching upon release, promising to engage viewers with its satirical narrative. The collaboration between Hulu and Pantheon Books also highlights the growing trend of adaptations from literature to screen.
