‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Sequel Update: Jon M. Chu Says “I Won’t Bring Everyone Back Unless It’s Worth It”
Jon M. Chu not rushing a 'Crazy Rich Asians' sequel following 'Wicked.' He's prioritizing the Broadway musical.

Then in May 2022, it was announced that a spinoff of Crazy Rich Asians from Barry producer and scribe Jason Kim was in the early works, centering around Chan’s Astrid Young Teo and her romance with Charlie Wu, played by Harry Shum Jr. in the original movie. Both the sequel and spinoff would be tied to the novel China Rich Girlfriend, which in addition to covering Astrid and Charlie’s relationship, follows the Constance Wu and Henry Golding characters, Rachel and Nick, on a trip to Shanghai to find the former’s birth father.
