'Crazy Rich Asians' HBO Series Reunites Wu, Golding, Yeoh, Chieng
The eight-episode drama brings back Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ronny Chieng and Michelle Yeoh as HBO expands the hit film into television.
- On Thursday, HBO greenlit an eight-episode Crazy Rich Asians drama series, confirming original cast members will return to adapt author Kevin Kwan's book series for a new television audience.
- Showrunner Adele Lim returns to adapt the renowned tale, expanding the story across eight episodes. The project, based on Kwan's books, has been in development at HBO since early 2025.
- The original 2018 film proved a massive hit, grossing over $239 million worldwide despite Hollywood concerns that an all-Asian cast was a "risky bet." It holds a 91% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Series regulars Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ronny Chieng, and recurring cast member Michelle Yeoh will reprise their roles. Emmy-winning producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson expressed excitement to answer the question, "When do we get more Crazy Rich Asians?," in the upcoming series.
- Production for the series begins in 2027. The order follows the recent merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery as Skydance became official, bringing the two services to about 200 million global subscribers.
