Ali Wong to Star and Executive Produce 'Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld' on Netflix
A new animated series from the Titmouse animation studio called Jenny Chau vs. The Underworld with a focus on the supernatural is set to hit Netflix. According to the official press release, “The series follows Jentry Chau, a Chinese-American teen living in a small Texas town, who finds out a demon king is hunting her for the supernatural powers she’s been working her whole life to repress.
With the help of her weapons expert great-aunt and millenia-old jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampire), Jentry must now fight an entire underworld’s worth of monsters while balancing the horrors of high school.”
