\n\tThe \u201cCrazy Rich Asians<\/a>\u201d TV series is moving forward at HBO, with four of the film\u2019s stars returning.<\/p>\n

\n\tConstance Wu<\/a>, Henry Golding and Ronny Chieng have all signed on as series regulars in the one-hour original drama series, with Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh<\/a> recurring. All four will reprise their respective roles from the hit 2018 film.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a \u2018Crazy Rich\u2019 family reunion! This series is the sequel we\u2019ve been waiting for, but instead of just one movie, we get eight episodes to delve into the characters and worlds of Kevin Kwan\u2019s brilliant books,\u201d said Adele Lim, who co-wrote the 2018 film and has been set as showrunner and executive producer for the TV series. \u201cGetting to work with the original creative team with the support and vision of HBO and Warner Bros. Television has been a dream. Our writers room is humming and we can\u2019t wait to share what we\u2019ve come up with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series was first reported to be in the works<\/a> back in early 2025. Like the film, the TV project is based on Kevin Kwan\u2019s book series of the same name. \u201cCrazy Rich Asians\u201d was published in 2013, followed by \u201cChina Rich Girlfriend\u201d in 2015 and \u201cRich People Problems\u201d in 2017.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am thrilled that the \u2018Crazy Rich Asians\u2019 family is getting back together thanks to HBO and Warner Bros. Television,\u201d said Kwan. \u201cOur incredible fans around the world have been patiently waiting for this, and it will be worth the wait! Getting to see my stories and characters come to life with the breathing room of an HBO series is a dream come true, and I am so excited to experience the magic that Adele, Jon, Nina, Brad, our amazing writers and iconic cast will create.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film \u201cCrazy Rich Asians,\u201d directed by Jon M. Chu, was a box office smash when it opened in theaters in 2018. Against a reported budget of $30 million, the film grossed over $239 million worldwide. It was also a hit with critics, with the series holding a 91% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. A feature sequel had long been reported to be in development but has yet to move forward. Instead, the TV series received the greenlight at HBO. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEight years ago, \u2018Crazy Rich Asians\u2019 changed my life, and I got to make it with the most creative and hilarious group of people I\u2019ve ever known,\u201d Chu said. \u201cSince then, this cast has become movie stars, superheroes, arena-filling performers and even an Oscar winner, so bringing everyone back together feels like coming home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued: \u201cIt\u2019s been incredible watching audiences make this movie part of their lives, from mahjong nights to becoming the ultimate airplane movie, and I can\u2019t wait to share what comes next. Finally, I get to answer the question I\u2019ve been asked almost every day for eight years: \u2018When are we getting the sequel?\u2019 Well\u2026 bok bok bitch, we\u2019re back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tChu will also return to executive produce (via Electric Somewhere), alongside Lim (via 100 Tigers), Kwan, and Emmy-winning producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, whose Color Force banner developed and produced the movie. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be happier to bring this extraordinary gang back together for a series that picks up where the movie left off,\u201d Jacobson and Simpson said. \u201cAs producers, the most common question we get is \u2018When do we get more \u2018Crazy Rich Asians?\u2019 and we are so glad to finally have the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tExecutive producers also include Chloe Dan and Jeannine Tang (for SK Global Entertainment, which co-financed the film), Naia Cucukov Richards (via Lim\u2019s 100 Tigers) and Rose Lam. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe series is co-produced by HBO and Warner Bros. Television.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are so excited that Adele and the team behind the history-making film are bringing the next chapter of this story to life,\u201d said Casey Bloys, co-chair and chief content officer, Skydance Direct-To-Consumer, announcing the update. \u201cConstance, Henry, Ronny, and Michelle are global superstars, and we know the passionate fans of the film and megahit novels can\u2019t wait to see more. We\u2019re glad to be in partnership with this talented producing team and cast.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAdded Channing Dungey, chairman, Warner Bros. Television Group and US Networks: \u201cFrom a bestselling novel to a blockbuster film and now television, \u2018Crazy Rich Asians\u2019 has solidified its place as one of the most beloved stories in popular culture. Kevin Kwan created an irresistible world filled with the perfect blend of glitz, humor, and heart, and the talented Adele Lim returns to adapt this renowned tale for a new television audience. We are equally thrilled to welcome Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ronny Chieng, and Michelle Yeoh back to reprise their iconic roles. We can\u2019t wait to bring this series to life with our partners at HBO.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The \u201cCrazy Rich Asians\u201d TV series is moving forward at HBO, with four of the film\u2019s stars returning.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":921392,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,29014,321537,134,17300,59407,427],"class_list":["post-921391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-constance-wu","tag-crazy-rich-asians","tag-entertainment","tag-hbo-max","tag-michelle-yeoh","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/921391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=921391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/921391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/921392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=921391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=921391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=921391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
