The Youngs were so posh and snobby in Crazy Rich Asians that they were practically “snoshy.” Now, eight years after the hit romantic comedy introduced audiences to Singapore’s ultra-wealthy elite, the fictional family is returning for a new HBO series, with several familiar faces back for the reunion.
HBO announced that the sequel series will begin production in 2027, with eight hourlong episodes according to Variety. Constance Wu and Henry Golding will reprise their roles as Rachel Chu and Nick Young, while Ronny Chieng is returning as Nick’s cousin Eddie, whose obsession with optimal angles made him one of the family’s more memorable personalities. Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh will also return in a recurring role as Nick’s formidable mother, Eleanor.
For fans, the series has been a long time coming. Warner Bros. began developing a movie sequel in 2018, but the project stalled for years. Director Jon M. Chu, who is executive producing the series, joked in a statement shared by Entertainment Weekly that he can finally answer the question he’s been asked almost every day for eight years: When are we getting the sequel?
The good news is that there’s plenty of story left. Author Kevin Kwan followed his 2013 novel with two sequels, China Rich Girlfriend in 2015 and Rich People Problems in 2017. Adele Lim, who co-wrote the film and will serve as the series’ showrunner, said having eight episodes means the team can explore the characters and the “worlds of Kevin Kwan’s brilliant books” in more depth than a single movie would allow.

There’s no word yet on whether Awkwafina, Gemma Chan, Lisa Lu or Ken Jeong will return. Fans will have to wait and see if Peik Lin’s scene-stealing one-liners or Astrid’s glamorous storyline will be part of the series.
After earning more than $239 million at the worldwide box office, Crazy Rich Asians is getting another chapter. And this time, fans will have eight episodes to spend with the characters who made the original such a hit.
