\n\tAfter eight years, Constance Wu<\/a> is reuniting with the Young family for the Crazy Rich Asians<\/a> HBO<\/a> sequel series.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Friday, the Golden Globe nominee teased the \u201creally funny\u201d script from the 2018 film\u2019s co-writer Adele Lim, revealing the filming is taking place in New York City for the one-hour drama series, which got a series order from HBO<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWell, I mean, the first movie is based on the book by Kevin Kwan,\u201d she explained on Today<\/a>. \u201cAnd he actually has a whole bunch of books in the Crazy Rich Asians world, and so a lot of it follows that. I could tell you that we\u2019re all excited to be coming back. It\u2019s filming here in New York where I live, so I\u2019m thrilled about that. And I think it\u2019s really funny.<\/p>\n

\n\tWu confirmed that production starts next year on the eight-episode series, and she\u2019s read a script. \u201cIt\u2019s very funny. I think it\u2019s really good,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re in great hands because Adele is showrunning and writing and she did the original [film], and she\u2019s just so smart and good and talented that I feel just great with her at the helm,\u201d added Wu<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this month, we reported that HBO gave the series a green light<\/a> after about two years of development from Lim, the movie\u2019s director Jon M. Chu, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson.<\/p>\n

\n\tWu is set to reprise her role Rachel Chu in the series, alongside Henry Golding as Nick Young and Ronny Chieng as Eddie Chang, with Michelle Yeoh recurring as Eleanor Sung-Young.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After eight years, Constance Wu is reuniting with the Young family for the Crazy Rich Asians HBO sequel…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655358,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,288763,65392,146,4302,85,46],"class_list":["post-655357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-constance-wu","tag-crazy-rich-asians","tag-entertainment","tag-hbo","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
