Hulu has handed out a ten-episode order for “Interior Chinatown” based on Charles Yu’s award-winning book.
Jimmy O. Yang (“Crazy Rich Asians,” “Silicon Valley”) will star as Willis Wu, a background character stuck doing work in a police procedural called “Black & White” who has no idea of his leading man status.
When he inadvertently becomes a witness to a crime, Willis begins to unravel a criminal web in Chinatown, revealing certain family secrets and what it feels like to be in the spotlight.
Rideback, Participant and Dive will executive produce the 20th Television series with Taiki Waititi set to direct the pilot as well as serve as an executive producer.
Yu will also serve as showrunner and executive producer alongside Dan Lin, Lindsey Liberatore, Elsie Choi, Jeff Skoll, Miura Kite, and Garrett Basch.
