Crazy Rich Asians movie co-stars โ€˜excitedโ€™ as Max develops TV series, Henry Golding says


Henry Golding revealed he has reconnected with several of his Crazy Rich Asians collaborators as the hit film, based on author Kevin Kwanโ€™s book trilogy, gets a future on the small screen.

Golding, who starred as affluent heartthrob Nick Young in the 2018 film, this week told the Today show on US television that he recently reunited with co-stars Awkwafina and Gemma Chan, on separate occasions, and discussed the series currently in development at Max.

โ€œEveryone is excited,โ€ he said.

The Snake Eyes and Another Simple Favour actor said he met Awkwafina โ€œthe other nightโ€ and โ€œnot too long agoโ€ reconnected with Chan and Crazy Rich Asians co-writer Adele Lim in London โ€œto sort of discuss where weโ€™re headingโ€.

Crazy Rich Asians, directed by Jon M. Chu and co-written by Lim and Peter Chiarelli, touted an all-Asian cast and was a watershed moment for under-represented voices in Hollywood.
