‘Crazy Rich Asians’ TV Series in the Works at Max — Adele Lim, Jon M. Chu Returning

Lim previously departed a planned film sequel to the 2018 blockbuster over a lack of parity with her co-writer.

After the 2018 film starring Michelle Yeoh, Constance Wu and Henry Golding grossed $240 million at the global box office, a sequel was a no-brainer. Lim will serve as showrunner on the Warner Bros. Television project, which has opened a development writers room, and executive produce via her 100 Tigers banner. Wu and Golding starred as the central couple, with Yeoh, Gemma Chan, Awkwafina, Ken Jeong, Jimmy O. Yang and Ronny Chieng rounding out the starry cast.
