Adele Lim, Jon M. Chu Lead Crazy Rich Asians TV Series Development

Max has officially opened a development room for a new TV series adaptation of 'Crazy Rich Asians,' with Adele Lim set as executive producer, writer, and showrunner. Jon M. Chu, the director of the original film, and Kevin Kwan, the author of the book series, will also serve as executive producers. The series will draw from Kwan's literary works, which include 'Crazy Rich Asians,' 'China Rich Girlfriend,' and 'Rich People Problems,' and it is confirmed that this project will not affect the ongoing development of a sequel film. While there have been unofficial discussions with members of the original cast about returning, no specific storyline or creative direction has been established yet. The series aims to continue the story of Rachel and Nick's romance amidst the opulence of Singapore, similar to the hit film released in 2018. Production is being managed by SK Global Entertainment, with Chloe Dan overseeing the project.
