“HBO Orders ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Drama Series from Adele Lim, Jon M. Chu, and Kevin Kwan” — what this page in the network covers. HBO has officially greenlit a one-hour drama series based on Kevin Kwan’s best-selling ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ novels, with Adele Lim, Jon M. Chu, and Kwan attached as executive producers. The show follows the 2018 film, which became the highest-grossing Hollywood studio romantic comedy in North America in nearly a decade, grossing over $174 million domestically and $238 million worldwide.
The series had been in development at HBO for some time before receiving a formal order. This move signals HBO’s push into more diverse, high-profile IP adaptations, capitalizing on the franchise’s proven audience appeal. With the original creative team involved, the series aims to expand the world of the ultra-wealthy Singaporean families introduced in the movie.
