After years of impatiently waiting for more, HBO has officially announced that Crazy Rich Asians is coming back, and this time it’s not a film. In fact, the highly anticipated sequel to the hit rom-com will continue on as a TV series, which means more time with this wild family. Luckily for all of us, they have already revealed some major details as to what we can expect.
Here’s everything you need to know about Crazy Rich Asians the TV show: Yes, HBO announced on October 8, 2026, that Crazy Rich Asians will officially be back with a new series that will pick up immediately after the first movie. Adele Lim, who co-wrote the film, is officially back as showrunner and will also be executive producing the series. The book’s author, Kevin Kwan, is also involved as an executive producer along with Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, and the film’s director, Jon M.
Right now, a few cast members have already been revealed to be returning. Constance Wu is back as Rachel Chu alongside Henry Golding, who plays Nick Young. Ronny Chieng, who played Eddie Cheng, is the third confirmed series regular.
Michelle Yeoh will also be coming back, but in a recurring role. No other cast members have been announced, but we are crossing our fingers for some good news surrounding Gemma Chan as Astrid and Harry Shum Jr. as Charlie. If you’ve read the books, you know what a big deal that pairing is and we definitely want to see it unfold on our screen after seeing that mid-credits scene from the film.
According to Adele, “Our writers room is humming and we can’t wait to share what we’ve come up with.” This is good news for us because this means we are officially one step closer to the start of filming. While it feels like we’ve already waited enough time to see what happens next, unfortunately, it seems like we might have to wait a bit longer to see it come to the small screen. There’s no word yet on an official release date, but with filming still set to start, it’s a safe bet that it’ll premiere in 2028.
