Michelle Yeoh's new Netflix series The Brothers Sun gets first trailer
Michelle Yeoh's new Netflix series The Brothers Sun has received its first trailer.
The new show from Brad Falchuk and Byron Wu, which is set for release on Netflix on January 4, is described as a darkly comedic, action-packed family soap.
Starring Michelle Yeoh and Justin Chien as mother and son, the eight-part series sees infamous killer and gangster Charles "Chairleg" Sun (Chien) travel from Taipei to LA following the assassination of his father, the head of a Taiwanese triad.

In LA, Charles must protect his mother Eileen (Yeoh) and younger brother Bruce (Better Call Saul's Sam Song Li) as Taipei's criminal underworld battle for dominance in their father's absence. Having lived a sheltered life in Los Angeles, Charles's little brother Bruce is unaware of his family background until Charles shows up throwing him into a world he is unprepared for.
Forced to heal the wounds created by their time apart, the siblings and mother must come together before their family enemies destroy them.
As we see in the trailer, numerous fight scenes and hilarious antics ensue and, in one notable moment, the brothers walk in on what appears to be their mother dismembering a body.
