“Crazy Rich Asians” will get a new TV series adaptation at Max, TheWrap has learned, with film writer Adele Lim and director Jon M. Chu attached as executive producers.
The project is in the development stage at the streamer and will also be adapted from Kevin Kwan’s book series of the same name. It’s unclear if the show, which is produced by Warner Bros. Television, will be connected to the hit 2018 film that starred Constance Wu and Henry Golding.
The “Crazy Rich Asians” film was a cultural phenomenon upon its release, grossing over $230 million worldwide. The first book was published in 2013, and expanded with two other books “China Rich Girlfriend” in 2015 and “Rich People Problems” in 2017.
