tvOct 8, 202639285

HBO has given a series order to Crazy Rich Asians, commissioning an eight-episode, one-hour original drama that serves as a follow-up to the 2018 film. Constance Wu and Henry Golding will reprise their roles as Rachel Chu and Nick Young, with Ronny Chieng returning as Eddie Cheng and Michelle Yeoh back as Young family matriarch Eleanor. Adele Lim is leading the project as showrunner and Jon M. Chu is attached as an executive producer. The series reunites key members of the film’s creative team to expand Kevin Kwan’s storyworld on television. HBO’s order moves the franchise from a single blockbuster film into a serialized format with an initial eight-episode season.

wild that it's taken nearly a decade to get this movie, sorry, this TV series serving as a sequel to one of the biggest movies of 2018, starring an Oscar winner no less, off the ground like a win is a win but they really said "you can have one big hit movie...but don't get crazy, rich Asians"

Ooh, I'm excited to see that HBO has picked up 'Crazy Rich Asians' as a series, retaining the key cast from the movie Kevin Kwan's gossipy storyworld was always a better fit for TV. It's basically a contemporary Bridgerton
