All the updates about the Crazy Rich Asians TV Series
Henry Golding has shared an update on the upcoming Crazy Rich Asians TV series, indicating production may begin early next year. Golding, who played Nick Young in Jon M. Chu's 2018 film adaptation of Kevin Kwan's novel, spoke about the series on Watch What Happens Live. 'Something's being made. I think we're actually going to do a series. That's what they're trying to give us,' he said. 'Aiming for like first quarter, even, next year.' When asked about the scripts, Golding told host Andy Cohen, 'There are scripts hanging around but they haven't been passed on yet. I haven't read anything, but I hear it's promising.' The HBO Max series, produced by Warner Bros. TV, will be led by executive producer and showrunner Adele Lim, who co-wrote the 2018 film with Peter Chiarelli. Chu and Kwan are also executive producers on the project. The series will be based on Kwan's book series, which began with Crazy Rich Asians in 2013, followed by China Rich Girlfriend in 2015 and Rich People Problems in 2017. It will not replace the planned sequel to the 2018 film, but will expand the universe for television audiences. Although filming starts soon, there is no update about a release date yet. Crazy Rich Asians was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and earned over $239 million worldwide. The film starred Constance Wu as Rachel Chu and followed her journey to Singapore with her boyfriend Nick, played by Golding, discovering his family's wealth and status.

Photo: AFP Henry Golding revealed he has reconnected with several of his Crazy Rich Asians collaborators as the hit film, based on author Kevin Kwan's book trilogy, gets a future on the little screen. Golding, who starred as affluent heartthrob Nick Young in the 2018 film, told the Today show on Wednesday that he recently reunited with co-stars Awkwafina and Gemma Chan, on separate occasions, and discussed the series currently in development at Max. "Everyone is excited," he said. The actor said he met up with Awkwafina "the other night" and "not too long ago" reconnected with Chan and Crazy Rich Asians co-writer Adele Lim in London "to sort of discuss where we're heading." Crazy Rich Asians , directed by Jon M. Chu and co-written by Lim and Peter Chiarelli, touted an all-Asian cast and was a watershed moment for underrepresented voices in Hollywood. The film made nearly US$240mil worldwide on a budget of US$30mil and paved the way for a sequel based off Kwan's second book, China Rich Girlfriend. In 2019, news broke that the Crazy Rich Asians sequel hit a significant roadblock as Lim exited the project over pay disparity. The status of the second film has been unclear since then, but it seems Lim will give Crazy Rich Asians another go. Warner Bros. Discovery is the parent company of both Max and Warner Bros Pictures, which distributed the first film. Lim is set to executive produce, write and serve as showrunner on the Warner Bros Television project. Kwan and Chu (via his Electric Somewhere production banner) will both return as executive producers. Color Force's Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson will also executive produce. It's unclear where exactly the series will pick up, but it will be based off Kwan's books. The series is in early development with no casting deals in place, but Lim is keen on having original cast members return for the show, The Times has learned. In his Today interview, Golding did not confirm whether he was officially on board but said "we have so much runway to really share the world" of the Crazy Rich Asians franchise. "I think we're really excited to show more," he said. – Los Angeles Times/Tribune News Service
