Director: Echo Wu
Turning sixteen is hard enough without demons crawling out of the woodwork — Jentry Chau vs the Underworld leans into that collision head-on.
What is Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld about?
Jentry has spent most of her teenage years doing everything possible to look ordinary: same school, same friend group, same careful routine of keeping her head down. The powers she was born with, the ones her family always warned her about, stay locked away — until her sixteenth birthday forces them loose. What starts as a few uncontrollable sparks quickly turns into something bigger: creatures from the underworld take notice, family secrets surface, and Jentry has to figure out who she actually is while literally fighting off the consequences of that identity. The show balances fast, comedic banter with genuinely tense supernatural set pieces, refusing to let either side dominate for too long. Her inner circle — family members who know more than they've said, and friends who are suddenly along for a much stranger ride than they signed up for — gets pulled into the fight alongside her, making this as much a story about found responsibility as it is about demon-hunting.
Cast & crew
Ali Wong brings sharp comic timing to the cast, playing a role that grounds the show's more chaotic supernatural turns. Lori Tan Chinn and Bowen Yang round out the voice ensemble, each carving out distinct comedic rhythms that keep the family and friend-group dynamics feeling lived-in rather than purely functional to the plot.
Context & significance
Directed by Echo Wu and released in 2024, Jentry Chau vs the Underworld sits in the animated action-fantasy space, built around a teenage protagonist navigating both ordinary coming-of-age pressure and inherited supernatural stakes. Its blend of horror-adjacent creature designs with sitcom-paced dialogue gives it a distinct rhythm compared to more straightforwardly dramatic entries in the same genre.
