“Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld” Trailer Pits Teen Against Monsters in Netflix Animated Series

Netflix has debuted the trailer for their latest animated effort, “Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld,” a supernatural action series starring Ali Wong (Birds of Prey, “Paper Girls”).

“Jentry Chau vs. The Underwold” premieres on Netflix on December 5, 2024.

Wong executive produces the 13-episode series, from first-time show-runner Echo Wu, alongside Aron Eli Coleite (“Locke & Key”).

The series follows “Jentry Chau (voiced by Wong), 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 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.”

Lori Tan Chinn voices Jentry’s aunt Gugu and Bowen Yang as Jentry’s sidekick, Ed. Additional cast includes Lucy Liu, Jimmy O. Yang, Sheng Wang, A.J. Beckles, and Woosung Kim.

“Sometimes finding your self-identity is coming face-to-face with your own demons,” Wu told Tudum about Jentry Chau. “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.”

Wu added, “I wanted this show to feel super grounded. I think it’s refreshing in animation when you have a series that isn’t about this magical realm. I wanted it to feel genuine and the characters to be in our world.”

Titmouse serves as the animation studio for the 2D animated series, with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina also acting as Executive Producers.

Watch the new trailer below to meet Jentry Chau, and get ready to this series to arrive early next month.
