According to Deadline, Sullivan Jones (Atlanta) and Lisa Gilroy (Netflix’s Glamourous) have been cast as leads opposite Jimmy O. Yang in the upcoming Hulu series Interior Chinatown.
What’s Happening:
- Interior Chinatown follows the story of Willis Wu (Jimmy O. Yang), a background character trapped in a police procedural trying to find his way into the larger story – and along the way discovers secrets about the strange world he inhabits and his family’s buried history.
- Jones and Gilroy will play Miles Turner and Sarah Green, respectively, the two lead detectives on the procedural crime show Black & White.
- An expert at making flashy arrests—whenever he’s not bantering with his longtime partner Sarah Green—Turner’s seemingly perfect exterior masks someone more complex. Ambitious and hyper-competent, Green is indisputably the best detective on the force, but somehow still finds herself always fighting for the light behind Turner’s shadow.
- In addition to Yang, Jones and Gilroy join previously cast leads Ronny Chieng and Chloe Bennett.
- The series comes from creator Charles Yu, who wrote the 2020 bestseller, Interior Chinatown.
- Yu will serve as showrunner for the series, as well as an executive producer.
- Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit) will direct the pilot and executive produce.
- The 10 episode series is produced by 20th Television.
- This is just the latest of a number of book-to-television adaptations at Hulu, following others like Tiny Beautiful Things, The Other Black Girl, and Black Cake.
