One of the buzziest films of 2018 will return, albeit to the small screen. Variety reports that HBO has greenlit a series continuation of “Crazy Rich Asians,” evolving Jon M. Chu‘s hit movie into a one-hour original drama series. What’s more, the film’s main cast will return for the show: Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ronny Chieng will be series regulars, while Michelle Yeoh also returns, but in a recurring role.

Based on Kevin Kwan‘s bestselling book series, “Crazy Rich Asians” follows a Chinese American professor who travels to Singapore with her boyfriend Nick, and suddenly realizes Nick’s family is one of the richest in the country. Chu’s 2018 film adapted the first book in Kwan’s series, so it stands to reason that the HBO series will adapt events from the later two books: 2015’s “China Rich Girlfriend,” and 2017’s “Rich People Problems.” But maybe the show’s writers have something different in mind.

Here’s a brief press statement for the upcoming show, courtesy of Adele Lim, co-writer of the 2018 film and showrunner and executive producer for the series: “It’s a “Crazy Rich” family reunion! This series is the sequel we’ve been waiting for, but instead of just one movie, we get eight episodes to delve into the characters and worlds of Kevin Kwan’s brilliant books. Getting to work with the original creative team with the support and vision of HBO and Warner Bros. Television has been a dream. Our writers’ room is humming and we can’t wait to share what we’ve come up with.”

Novelist Kwan had a press statement of his own: “I am thrilled that the “Crazy Rich Asians” family is getting back together thanks to HBO and Warner Bros. Television. Our incredible fans around the world have been patiently waiting for this, and it will be worth the wait! Getting to see my stories and characters come to life with the breathing room of an HBO series is a dream come true, and I am so excited to experience the magic that Adele, Jon, Nina, Brad, our amazing writers and iconic cast will create.”

“Crazy Rich Asians” became a sneaky box-office hit upon its release, making nearly $240 million worldwide off a $30 million budget. The film thrived on word of mouth just as much as it did critical reception; for those who care, the movie holds a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Chu had a sequel in mind after the first film’s success, but it never materialized, with talk of an HBO series emerging last year.

Will Chu be involved in the HBO series? Only as an executive producer via Electric Somewhere, alongside Lim (100 Tigers), Kwan, and Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, whose Color Force banner developed and produced the original film. Other executive producers include Chloe Dan and Jeannine Tang, whose SK Global Entertainment co-financed the movie, Naia Cucukov Richards (100 Tigers), and Rose Lam.

Expect “Crazy Rich Asians” on HBO and HBO Max in late 2027. Watch the series announcement teaser below.
