When is ‘The Brothers Sun’ releasing and where can you watch it?
‘The Brothers Sun’ will be streaming on Netflix and it is confirmed to premiere in 2023. Production for the series is said to begin this year.
What is the plot of ‘The Brothers Sun’?
‘The Brothers Sun’ takes place in Los Angeles and Taiwan. It chronicles the struggle of Taipei gangster Charles Sun, the first Sun brother, as he journeys to Los Angeles to save his mother, Eileen, referred to as “Mama” and his innocent brother Bruce. While Charles Sun is a hardened gangster in his home country working for his mob-head father, Bruce Sun is living in Los Angeles with his mother and has no idea that he belongs to a dangerous gangster family.
After the Suns’ father is shot to death in Los Angeles by an unknown assassin, Charles must leave Taipei to protect his mother from the family’s new enemy and confront his estranged younger brother. The latter leads a life untouched by violence and crime. The trio is either deliberate or unwitting members of a treacherous Taipei crime family. They are not afraid to do what has to be done for their safety and the longevity of their family, particularly "Mama" Sun. Half of the family lives in Taipei, driving the family’s gangster legacy. The other half has left that world behind for a safer way of life in Los Angeles.
We can expect a wide dichotomy and exciting tension between these two completely different brothers. While Bruce has little knowledge of his family’s life of crime in Taipei, Charles has almost no understanding of Bruce’s more laid-back, safer life in Los Angeles. Whatever the events of the series are, these two brothers will have to metaphorically cross oceans to come together and restore unity between the two fractured halves of the family.
