Netflix has debuted the trailer for their upcoming animated show, Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld, a supernatural action series starring Birds of Prey and Paper Girls‘ Ali Wong. Wong executive produces the 13-episode season alongside Aron Eli Coleite, which hails from first-time showrunner Echo Wu.
The series follows the titular Jentry Chau (Wong), a Chinese-American teen living in a small Texas town and nearing her sixteenth birthday, who finds out 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 (a Chinese hopping vampire), Jentry must now fight an entire underworld’s worth of monsters and demons while also balancing the horrors of high school and the pitfalls of teenage girlhood, from romantic interests to grappling for her independence.
Lori Tan Chinn voices Jentry’s aunt Gugu and Saturday Night Live alum Bowen Yang as Jentry’s sidekick, Ed. Additional cast includes Lucy Liu, Jimmy O. Yang, Sheng Wang, A.J. Beckles, and Woosung Kim.
Titmouse serves as the animation studio for the 2D animated series, with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina aboard as executive producers.
Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld premieres on Netflix on December 5th, 2024. Watch the trailer below:
