What happens in the Interior Chinatown trailer? 

The trailer introduces viewers to Yang’s Willis Wu, who’s having an existential crisis. Willis begins to feel like “a background character in someone else’s story” as he gripes about the lack of excitement in his present life as a background character in a police procedural called Black & White. 

His life soon takes an unexpected turn, however, when he becomes a witness to a crime. A female detective then enlists him in an investigation into a missing woman and the mysterious incidents within the underbelly of Chinatown.

The official synopsis reads as follows: “The show follows the story of Willis Wu, a background character trapped in a police procedural called Black & White. Relegated to the background, Willis goes through the motions of his on-screen job, waiting tables, dreaming about a world beyond Chinatown and aspiring to be the lead of his own story. When Willis inadvertently becomes a witness to a crime, he begins to unravel a criminal web in Chinatown, while discovering his own family’s buried history and what it feels like to be in the spotlight.”

All 10 episodes of Interior Chinatown arrive on Hulu on Tuesday, November 19.
