A series adaptation of “Crazy Rich Asians” is in development at Max.
Adele Lim, who co-wrote the 2018 film, has been set as showrunner and executive producer, while director Jon M. Chu will also return to executive produce.
Like the film, the TV project is based on Kevin Kwan’s book series of the same name. “Crazy Rich Asians” was published in 2013, followed by “China Rich Girlfriend” in 2015 and “Rich People Problems” in 2017.
Kwan executive produced Lim and Chu’s 2018 film and will also executive produce the Max series, for which Warner Bros TV is the studio.
It is not yet known whether the series will feature returning cast members from the film.
Kwan’s other novels include 2020’s “Sex and Vanity” and 2024’s “Lies and Weddings.”
The “Crazy Rich Asians” series is executive produced by Lim via her production company 100 Tigers alongside Naia Cucukov; Chu via his production company Electric Somewhere; Kwan; and Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson via their Color Force banner, which developed and produced the movie.
SK Global Entertainment will also produce, with Chloe Dan overseeing the project for the company.
