The Brothers Sun now playing on Netflix!
Don’t miss the new Netflix Original Series The Brother’s Sun, a fun, slick, action-packed crime drama featuring all-Asian talents both in front of and behind the camera including Michelle Yeoh, Joon Lee, and Jenny Yang!
When the head of a powerful Taiwanese triad is shot by a mysterious assassin, his eldest son, legendary killer Charles “Chairleg” Sun heads to Los Angeles to protect his mother, Eileen, and his naive younger brother, Bruce — who’s been completely sheltered from the truth of his family until now. But as Taipei’s deadliest societies and a new rising faction go head-to-head for dominance — Charles, Bruce and their mother must heal the wounds caused by their separation and figure out what brotherhood and family truly mean before one of their countless enemies kills them all.
Watch The Brother’s Sun now, only on Netflix!
