'Mama' Michelle Yeoh Knows Best In Trailer For The Brothers Sun Action Drama — Get Netflix Release Date

Michelle Yeoh looks poised to do very bad things with a power drill (!!) in a first teaser trailer for The Brothers Sun, a family action drama premiering Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024 on Netflix.

Set in Los Angeles and Taiwan and distinct in that it features an all-Asian writers room and all-Asian cast, the eight-episode series follows Charles Sun (played by Justin Chien), a Taipei gangster who's settled into his life as a ruthless killer. But when his father is shot by a mysterious assassin, Charles must go to L.A. to protect his mother, Ellen (Academy Award winner Yeoh), and his younger brother, Bruce (Sam Song Li), who's been completely sheltered from the truth of his family until now.

"But as Taipei's deadliest societies and a new rising faction go head-to-head for dominance," the synopsis tells us, "Charles, Bruce and their mother must heal the wounds caused by their separation and figure out what brotherhood and family truly mean before one of their countless enemies kills them all."

The series' cast also includes Highdee Kuan as Alexis, a driven and ambitious assistant DA; Joon Lee as TK, an aspiring gangster/Bruce's best friend since childhood; and, in recurring roles, Alice Hewkin, Jon Xue Zhang, Jenny Yang, Madison Hu and Rodney To.

Brad Falchuk (American Horror Story, Glee) was showrunner for the series, which was co-created by Byron Wu. In addition to Falchuk and Wu, Mikkel Bondesen and director Kevin Tancharoen served as executive producers.
