American Born Chinese is a popular graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang that was released in 2006 and has since become a best-seller and multiple award winner. A live-action television series adaptation has been in development for Disney+ and now, the first trailer for the series has been released.

The TV adaptation of American Born Chinese has been adapted by Kelvin Yu, who also worked on Shang-Chi. The series stars Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan, who recently won Academy Awards. The story is about two young men, Jin Wang (Ben Wang) and Wei-Chen (Jim Liu), who find themselves caught between two worlds both literally and figuratively.

The series was ordered by Disney in 2021 and will be produced by 20th Television. Kelvin Yu and Charles Yu will serve as writers and executive producers for the show.

In addition to Quan and Yeoh, the series also stars Daniel Wu, Stephanie Hsu, Chin Han, Hong Huifang, Poppy Liu, Lisa Lu, James Hong, and Jimmy O. Yang. The show is set to debut on Disney+ on May 24th, and fans are eagerly awaiting its arrival.
