Olivia Liang stars as Nicky Chen in The CW’s latest remake of Kung Fu, while learning the martial arts in an isolated Shaolin convent.
The first trailer for The CW’s upcoming TV series Kung Fu has been officially released.
On the network’s YouTube channel, the trailer begins showing viewers Nicky Chen (played by Olivia Liang), a young Chinese-American woman dropping out of college to practice martial arts in an isolated Shaolin monastery. She later returns to her family in San Francisco to tackle the gangsters and criminals who are plaguing her city, while searching for the assassin who killed her mentor.
The trailer highlights Nicky’s strained relationship with her family, which apparently ignores her desire to pursue a legal career in favor of waking justice. The action is also highlighted with impeccably choreographed battle scenes and gravity-challenging wire work.
