Hulu has ordered 10 episodes of Interior Chinatown, a series adapting the National Book Award-winning 2020 Charles Yu novel with the same name. Deadline was the first to report.
Jimmy O. Yang (Crazy Rich Asians, Silicon Valley) will reportedly star as Willis Wu, a background actor in a procedural cop show called Black and White. A synopsis further elaborates on his character and the show: “Relegated to the background, Willis goes through the motions of his on-screen job, waiting tables and dreaming about a whole world beyond Chinatown. When he inadvertently becomes a witness to a crime, Willis begins to unravel a criminal web in Chinatown, and in the process discovers what it feels like to be in the spotlight.”
