‘Jentry Chau vs the Underworld’ Trailer: Ali Wong Stars in Animated Series as a Texas Teen Battling Demons

Ali Wong is back on Netflix — at least, her voice is.

The “Beef” Emmy winner and “Single Lady” headliner executive produces and voice acts in the upcoming 13-episode animated series “Jentry Chau vs the Underworld,” premiering on the streamer December 5. Joining her in the voice cast are Bowen Yang, Lori Tan Chinn, Lucy Liu, Jimmy O. Yang, Sheng Wang, Woosung Kim, and A.J. Beckles. Netflix released the first trailer November 14.

The official logline reads: “The series follows Jentry Chau (voiced by Ali 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.”

High school is difficult enough for anyone, let alone a teen girl who has, to quote the trailer, “weird fiery hands.” “Do we have to start and end the day killing demons?” Jentry asks with some exasperation. At least her high school experience involves both poppy-colored school hallways and more pressing concerns than algebra.

Titmouse handles the animation duties, with the company’s Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina also acting as executive producers alongside Wong, Echo Wu, and Aron Eli Coleite.

In addition to the trailer, the show’s theme song, “Flame,” was released as a single by the rising K-pop group KATSEYE.

The voice cast is a particularly busy one this month, with Bowen Yang co-starring in “Wicked” and Liu co-starring in new holiday action comedy “Red One,” while Jimmy O. Yang headlines Hulu’s upcoming series “Interior Chinatown,” premiering November 19.

All 13 episodes (clocking in at 30 minutes each) will stream on Netflix December 5. Watch the full trailer (and hear the theme song) in the video below.
