Time to meet Jentry. Netflix has unveiled the first look teaser trailer for an upcoming animated series called Jentry Chau vs the Underworld, created by an animation up-and-comer named Echo Wu as her first real series. Made by animation studio Titmouse (The Venture Bros., Star Trek: Lower Decks, Scavengers Reign), creating the animation and overseeing the series. It will be streaming on Netflix in December later this year in a few more months. “Slaying demons or slaying homecoming dance? Why not both?” A Chinese-American teen living in a small Texas town finds out a demon king is hunting her for supernatural powers she’s been working her whole life to repress. The main character Jentry Chau is voiced by Ali Wong, who also executive produces the series. With a main voice cast featuring Bowen Yang, Lori Tan Chinn, Lucy Liu, Jimmy O. Yang, Sheng Wang, Woosung Kim, and A.J. Beckles. Dang this looks like a properly rad horror series with all kinds of monsters & demons! Worth a look – this might just kick some serious ass.
Here’s the teaser trailer for Netflix’s series Jentry Chau vs the Underworld, direct from YouTube:
“Sometimes finding your self-identity is coming face-to-face with your own demons. There are different layers to what that means. It rings quite true in Jentry. She’s trying to figure out what these powers mean to her. Are they part of her? Are they cursing her? You see this character trying to figure out who she is.” –Creator Echo Wu
The series follows Jentry Chau (voiced by Ali Wong), a Chinese-American teenager living in a small Texas town, who finds out a demon king is hunting her for the supernatural powers that she’s been working her whole life to repress. With the help of her weapons expert great-aunt and a millennia-old jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampire), Jentry must now fight an entire underworld’s worth of monsters while balancing the horrors of high school. Jentry Chau vs the Underworld is an animated series created and showrun by Echo Wu, making her first series. She’s also known for the acclaimed short called The Wishgranter. With writing by James Hamilton, Ryan Harer, and Echo Wu. And episodes also directed by Echo Wu. Executive produced by Wu, Ali Wong, and Aron Eli Coleite. It’s animated and made by Titmouse with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina also executive producers.
