Max's Crazy Rich Asians TV series "has officially opened a development room led by Adele Lim who will serve as executive producer, writer and showrunner," Deadline reported. Lim co-wrote the script with Peter Chiarelli for the hit 2018 movie, based on the novel by Kevin Kwan.
In addition to Lim (via her 100 Tigers production company), executive producers will include Jon M. Chu (via his Electric Somewhere banner), who directed the film, and author Kwan. Warner Bros. TV is the studio.
Deadline noted that "there have been unofficial conversations with the original cast about possibly returning; however, there is no creative direction for the season, so it would be too early to speculate on the storyline.... Max confirmed the series will be a drama based on the book series by Kwan, which also includes the titles China Rich Girlfriend, Rich People Problems, and Lies and Weddings."
