Overview
- HBO formally greenlit an eight-episode, one-hour sequel series to the 2018 film on Thursday, reassigning the project from HBO Max to HBO.
- Constance Wu, Henry Golding and Ronny Chieng are signed as series regulars while Michelle Yeoh will return in a recurring role.
- Adele Lim will serve as showrunner and executive producer with Jon M. Chu, Kevin Kwan, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson among the executive producers.
- Filming is scheduled to begin in 2027 after roughly two years in development at HBO, a process that included an early 2025 writers’ room setup.
- The series shifts the property from a single rom-com film into serialized drama to give writers room to draw on Kwan’s sequels, meet strong fan demand, and signal HBO’s content direction under Skydance.
