What is the series about
Based on Gene Luen Yang’s graphic novel of the same name, “American Born Chinese” tells the story of a typical American teenager whose life is turned upside down when he makes friends with the son of a mythical god. As USA Today put it, “the supernatural elements of ‘Chinese’ are brought to life beautifully, playing on aesthetics from Chinese folklore, comics, and animation to create worlds and scenes that pop off the screen.” This is the story of a young man’s struggle to find his own identity, told through family, comedy, and action-packed Kung-Fu.
The cast features
The coming-of-age adventure features an all-star international cast, including Academy® Award winners Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan (“Everything Everywhere All at Once“), Ben Wang (“Chang Can Dunk“), International Emmy® Award Nominee Yeo Yann Yann (“Wet Season“), Chin Han (“Mortal Kombat“), Daniel Wu (“Reminiscence“), former Taekwondo champion Jimmy Liu and Sydney Taylor (“Just Add Magic“).
Introducing audiences to a pantheon of iconic Chinese mythical characters, are guest stars Academy® Award nominee Stephanie Hsu as Shiji Niangniang, the Goddess of Stones; Ronny Chieng as unconventional monk, Ji Gong; Jimmy O. Yang as Dragon King, Ao Guang; James Hong as Jade Emperor; Leonard Wu as Niu Mowang/Bull Demon; and Poppy Liu as Princess Iron Fan. The series also welcomes Lisa Lu as soon-to-be retired acupuncturist Ni Yang and Rosalie Chiang as student activist Suzy Nakamura.
