    ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ TV Series in Development as Warner Bros. Eyes Streaming Expansion

    Published on

    Hollywood is taking another shot at expanding the Crazy Rich Asians franchise, this time on the small screen.

    Despite stalled attempts at sequels and spin-offs, Warner Bros. Discovery has now put a Crazy Rich Asians TV series into development for Max, with a writers’ room led by Adele Lim, who co-wrote the 2018 blockbuster rom-com.

    Lim is set to serve as showrunner, while Jon M. Chu—who directed the original film and spent years attempting to develop sequels China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems—will executive produce.

    Chu has since moved on to directing major musicals, including Wicked, but remains attached to this new project.

    The exact premise of the series remains unclear. It’s unknown whether the show will re-adapt Kevin Kwan’s 2013 novel, continue from where the movie left off, or explore an entirely different angle of the Crazy Rich Asians universe.

    Deadline reports that while “unofficial conversations” have taken place with the film’s cast—including Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Gemma Chan, Awkwafina, Ken Jeong, and Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh—no deals have been signed.

    For now, Crazy Rich Asians: The TV Show is in its early brainstorming phase, with Warner Bros. still figuring out what it wants the series to be.
