A new Netflix series will have a same-sex romance.
While we await the arrival of new Marvel Hero Shang-Chi, played by the new leading man Simu Liu, Netflix is supplying us with a suitable stand-in. The streaming program has released the trailer for a new Kung Fu series titled Wu Assassins.
As described by Netflix itself, Wu Assassins “follows Kai Jin (Iko Uwais), a young Chinatown chef in present-day San Francisco as he becomes entangled with the Chinese Triad’s pursuit of deadly ancient powers known as the “Wu Xing.” After an encounter with a mystical spirit, Kai reluctantly becomes the Wu Assassin (Mark Dacascos), using his enhanced martial arts skills to recover supernatural powers from five modern-day criminals threatening to use them to destroy the world.”
This series truly has it all, action, a fantasy storyline, and LGBTQ characters. Yes, the series also includes a lesbian romance involving Katheryn Winnick’s character Christine.
