Hey! I haven’t posted in a year, and haven’t posted with any regularity since Star vs the Forces of Evil ended in 2019 because, let’s be real here, the SVTFOE fandom was the reason I started posting on here in the first place. But that ends now! (Well, for today, until I am legally allowed to tell you more.)
Over the past year I have been writing songs and some preliminary score for an upcoming Netflix series called Jentry Chau vs the Underworld, continuing my monopoly on animated series with “vs” in the title. It was just announced yesterday, and you can read about it here.
But if you don’t feel like clicking away, here’s the gist:
• Created by the brilliant and wonderful Echo Wu, who is also the showrunner
• Stars Ali Wong as the title character (and who is also an executive producer). Also starring Bowen Yang, Lucy Liu, Jimmy O. Yang, Sheng Wang, Lori Tan Chinn, and K-pop idol Woosung.
• Plot synopsis! “[Ali] Wong will voice Chinese American teen Jentry Chau, who, while living in a small Texas town, discovers a demon king is hunting her for the very same powers she’s worked to repress her entire life. As a result, Jentry must balance the horrors of high school and fighting an underworld’s worth of monsters. But she’ll get a little help from her weapons-expert great aunt and a millennia-old jiangshi, also known as a Chinese hopping vampire.”
From what I have seen and worked on so far, the show is amazing and unlike anything you’ve ever seen before, and I can’t wait for you all to watch and hear it. (Probably next year? Not sure.) There are a ton of original songs, and there will also be an official album release, and get ready, because we are going HARD.
