The Brothers Sun was a 2024 Netflix original series that focused on the Sun family, a major player in the Chinese crime syndicate. The eldest, Sun Charles (Justin Chien), has grown up as a killer and second to Big Sun, who is brought out of hiding and shot in the back. Forced to get help from his mother, Charles goes to LA to find Mama Sun (Michelle Yeoh) and his younger brother Bruce Sun (Sam Song Li), who has no knowledge of his family’s legacy in China. Bruce lives a very mundane life driving Uber, going to pre-med school, and having aspirations of doing improv, where he spends money behind his mom’s back. As the attacks against the Suns escalate, they are forced to work together, and Bruce must learn how to navigate the complex world of criminals and tradition. The show concludes with almost all of the Chinese crime bosses meeting and being massacred by a mysterious, unknown new organization that wants all the crime families gone. In the vacuum left Mama Sun returns with Charles to Tapai to take over the remains of the other organizations and leaves Bruce on his own for the first time in LA to pursue his passions.
