The show has been created by Byron Wu and Brad Falchuk, who many will know for helming series like American Horror Story<\/a>, Pose<\/a> and Glee<\/a>.<\/p>\n In The Brothers Sun, we follow Charles (Justin Chien), who travels from Taipei to Los Angeles to protect his mother and younger brother after his father, the head of a powerful Taiwanese triad, is shot by a mystery assassin.<\/p>\n Alongside Chien leading the cast as enigmatic and legendary killer Charles is Michelle Yeoh<\/a> as matriarch Eileen \u2018Mama\u2019 Sun and Sam Song Li as brother Bruce.<\/p>\n After the recent success of films like Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/a> \u2013 which saw Yeoh win an Oscar<\/a> for her performance in the acclaimed film \u2013 Chien admits that working alongside the famed actress was an experience to remember.<\/p> Chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Chien explained how he felt when he first learned that Yeoh would be his co-lead in The Brothers Sun, saying: \u201cAt first, I tried to keep myself calm, but when it was confirmed, I lost my s**t.<\/p>\n \u201cI remembered when it was still rumoured, I saw Everything Everywhere All at Once for the first time, and within the first five minutes I started bawling \u2013 because one, she\u2019s so good, but two, this person might be playing my mother. It was mind-blowing.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s still a little surreal that I got to act with Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh.\u201d<\/p>\n The series sees Chien take on the role of older brother to Bruce, who is none the wiser as to his family\u2019s criminal underworld links.<\/p>\n Although the brothers have grown up in different continents and don\u2019t really know one another, the show sees them having to join forces with their mother to try and take down their enemies before these villains have the chance to reach the Sun family.<\/p>\n Commenting on his reaction to the script when he first received it, Chien admitted: \u201cI remember when I first read the script, I got chills because I had never seen anything like that. It felt like a story that was really broadening what Asian and Asian American people are traditionally seen as.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n He continued: \u201cWhat drew me the most to this character\u2026 I have to say Tom Hardy is my favourite actor, he\u2019s been my favourite actor for the past 10 years. There was something about Charles that I could tell \u2013 even though he comes off as this menacing, ruthless character \u2013 that there\u2019s a vulnerable side to him.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s something I think that Tom does amazingly in things that I love him in.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was the chance to play both this cool, tough leading character, but also explore someone that is a bit of a broken, tortured soul. In that process, I took some of those emotions home with me at the end of the day, but the entire process made me a lot more grateful for the life that I do have.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking further about the importance of representation in a Netflix series like The Brothers Sun, Chien added: \u201cIt\u2019s so special. First, it\u2019s a tremendous honour to be a part of something that broadens the scope of what we\u2019re traditionally seen as, but more so than that, I hope that \u2013 and I do believe that \u2013 we\u2019re an excellent story with an excellent cast, crew and creatives.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a universal story that I think everyone can relate to, no matter what culture you\u2019re from. Everyone has dealt with family, everyone has dealt with ideas of duty versus desire \u2013 it\u2019s something that I\u2019m so proud to have been a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n The Brothers Sun is available to stream on Netflix.\u00a0Sign up for Netflix from \u00a36.99 a month<\/a>.
