They’re still crazy (and rich) after all these years. Almost a decade after Crazy Rich Asians broke down barriers and broke out at the box office, its long-awaited sequel is finally happening. Talent behind and in front of the cameras will be returning, but you won’t be seeing it at a theater near you.

Based on the novel by Kevin Kwan, Crazy Rich Asians centers around NYU professor Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) and her boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), who are flying out to Singapore for a family wedding. Rachel soon realizes that Nick’s family is incredibly rich…and, as it turns out, incredibly crazy. Rachel, who comes from more modest means, is immediately suspected of being after Nick for his money, especially by his mother, the domineering Eleanor Sung-Young (Michelle Yeoh). Nick might soon have to choose between love and his family. The movie was a box office hit, grossing $239 million USD on a $30 million budget, but a sequel has been stuck in Development Hell for years.

Now, that sequel has been given the green light as a TV series at HBO. Wu, Golding, and Ronny Chieng, who played Nick‘s cousin Eddie, are all set to star, with Yeoh appearing in a recurring role. Jon M. Chu, who directed the original film, and Adele Lim, who co-wrote it, are producing the series with Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson. The eight-episode series will explore Kwan’s two sequels to his original novel, China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems. Says Chu, who recently directed Wicked and its sequel, Wicked: For Good: “Finally, I get to answer the question I’ve been asked almost every day for eight years: ‘When are we getting the sequel?’ Well… bok bok bitch, we’re back.”

What Was the Significance of ‘Crazy Rich Asians’?

Crazy Rich Asians was a rare box office bright spot for romantic comedies in the modern era, which have been increasingly relegated to streaming; it was the biggest hit in the genre since Hitch, which was released over a decade earlier, and no rom-com has come close to its tally since. Additionally, it was the first Hollywood movie to star a predominantly Asian cast in a modern setting since The Joy Luck Club, which was released 25 years earlier, in 1993.

A Crazy Rich Asians sequel series is in development at HBO; no release date has yet been announced.
