Netflix has found it's next animated venture, and this time, it's diving into the underworld. The streamer announced that it is currently working on a new supernatural series, entitled Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld. Along with the general reveal, Netflix also shared the already stacked voice cast line-up, which features Ali Wong in the title role. She will be joined by Lucy Liu, Jimmy O. Yang, Bowen Yang, Lori Tan Chinn, Woosung Kim, and Sheng Wang.

The series focuses on Jentry Chau (Wong), a Chinese-American teenager from small town Texas who learns that a demon king is after her. As if that wasn't enough, the demon is vying for the powers that Jentry has spent her entire life trying to suppress. So, on top of dealing with high school, Jentry must also battle "an underworld's worth of monsters." To do so, she enlists the help of her great aunt and a jiangshi (a Chinese hopping vampire). At this time, it's unclear who the other cast members will voice.

Jentry Chau hails from first-time showrunner Echo Wu, who previously directed the short film The Wishgranter which was also an animated project with supernatural elements. Wong and Aron Eli Coleite, known previously for Netflix shows Locke & Key and Daybreak, executive produce. Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina executive produce for Titmouse.
