Here’s everything else you need to know about The Brothers Sun below.
When was The Brothers Sun filmed?
The dark comedy was reportedly filmed from June 15, 2022 to Sept. 23, 2022. Production took place in Taipei, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, California.
When is The Brothers Sun coming to Netflix?
Unfortunately, we still do not have an official release date. When Netflix released its list of upcoming action movies and series, the streamer only revealed that the dark comedy will be “coming soon.” We don’t even have a confirmed release year, so it might not come out in 2023.
However, we believe it will be released by the end of the year since it’s already been filmed and the episodes have been in post-production for quite some time now. We’re probably looking at a summer or fall 2023 release, but nothing has been announced. You can definitely count on us to share the release date once Netflix announces it.
Who’s in The Brothers Sun cast?
Justin Chien stars in the leading role as Charles Sun, a ruthless gangster who heads to Los Angeles to protect his mother and younger brother after his father is shot by a mysterious assassin. He’s known for his roles in Pool Boy and Two Sides: Unfaithful.
As mentioned above, Michelle Yeoh also stars in the series. She plays Eileen, Charles’s mother who left her past behind in Taiwan to start a new life in California with her youngest son, Bruce. You might’ve watched Yeoh in the Netflix shows The Witcher: Blood Origin and Marco Polo. She also had roles in the Netflix films The School for Good and Evil, Gunpowder Milkshake and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny.
Sam Song Li plays the role of Bruce Sun, Charles’s naive younger brother. You might recognize him from his previous roles in Home Economics, Better Call Saul and Take the Night.
