Tribune News Service

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 small screen.
Golding, who starred as affluent heartthrob Nick Young in the 2018 film, this week told the Today show on US television 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 Snake Eyes and Another Simple Favour actor said he met 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 under-represented voices in Hollywood.
The film made nearly US$240 million worldwide on a budget of US$30 million and paved the way for a sequel based on 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 will both return as executive producers. It is unclear where exactly the series will pick up, but it will be based on 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.
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.
