Crazy Rich Asians to return as TV show with original film's stars
The show will pick up after the hit 2018 film, and will also star Michelle Yeoh and Ronny Chieng.
Four of the stars from the 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians are returning for a TV show of the same name. Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ronny Chieng, and Michelle Yeoh will reprise their roles as Rachel, Nick, Eddie, and Eleanor respectively. The series will be a continuation of the film, delving deeper into the characters and worlds explored in Kevin Kwan's popular books.
Adapted from Kwan's bestsellers, the show promises to capture the magic of the original film, which topped the US box office and received two Golden Globe nominations. Set to start production next year, the new series will be made by HBO and Warner Bros Television. Showrunner Adele Lim expressed excitement about bringing the talented cast back together, calling it a "family reunion" and a "sequel we've been waiting for."
