Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan’s Action-Comedy Series ‘American Born Chinese’ Sets Release Date, Unleashes Teaser

Disney+ will launch its upcoming series American Born Chinese on May 24, hoping that the Everything Everywhere All at Once magic of Michelle Yeoh, Key Huy Quan, and Stephanie Hsu boosts the streamer.

American Born Chinese is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Gene Luen Yang. It is the story of Jin Wang, an average teenager whom a new foreign student at school drags into a battle of Chinese mythological gods.
