Richer, crazier, and longer: HBO announces new Crazy Rich Asians series · theprint.in

HBO is making a new series based on Crazy Rich Asians.

Four actors from the movie—Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ronny Chieng and Michelle Yeoh—will return.

The story will continue after Nick asks Rachel to marry him.

Adele Lim, who helped write the movie, will lead the series.

Book author Kevin Kwan will help produce it.

Lim said there will be eight episodes.

That gives the story more time to show its characters and their lives.

A short teaser was released on 8 October.

The series has not started filming, and no release date has been announced.
