Agents of SHIELD’s Chloe Bennet has joined the cast of the TV show Interior Chinatown, which is currently being developed at Hulu.
According to Variety, Bennet will also be joined by Ronny Chieng. The series will be led by the previously announced Crazy Rich Asians star Jimmy O Yang, while Marvel’s Taika Waititi has joined the show as an executive producer as well as to direct the pilot.
The show is based on the book of the same name by Charles Yu. The synopsis follows the story of Willis Wu (Yang), “a background character trapped in a police procedural trying to find his way into the larger story and along the way discovers secrets about the strange world he inhabits and his family’s buried history”.

Bennet will play the character of Lana Lee. And according to her official character description, she seems like a pretty cool addition.
“Detective Lana Lee is a new lead making her debut appearance in the procedural cop show ‘Black & White’,” the character synopsis reads.
“Lana brings a new energy to the series’ reliable but overworked premise. Exuding competence and an air of mystery, Lana represents everything Willis has dreamed of: success, a possible love interest, and a bigger role in the story.

“Self-aware, compelling, and enigmatic, Lana has a way of easily slipping between worlds – but this ability comes with a complicated reality of its own. When Lana enlists Willis’s help on a major case, the two form an unlikely partnership,” it adds.
Meanwhile, Chieng will play the character of Fatty Choi, who is Willis’ best friend. Fatty has been described to have “passions that include video games and malted beverages”.
“Unlike Willis, Fatty is much more comfortable with who he is and he’s content with his life working at the restaurant, drinking, hanging out, and being the sidekick in the story,” his character description states.
Interior Chinatown does not currently have a release date.
