It looks like Crazy Rich Asians 2 is still very much happening, with a shoot reportedly planned for 2025.
2018’s Crazy Rich Asians was a huge hit, and for good reason. Jon M. Chu’s charming romcom, starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding won over audiences and critics alike with its witty humour and genuine, unapologetic romance.
The film was based on Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel and considering the book spawned two sequels, China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems, rumours of a sequel to the film have resurfaced often but the projects have not materialised.
Well, there is hope still. Production Weekly (via World Of Reel) reports that Crazy Rich Asians 2 is still on the way and eyeing a 2025 shoot in Malaysia and Singapore. Jon M. Chu, currently busy on post-production for Wicked Part One, is reportedly returning to direct while Amy Wang is penning the script.
No word on when Crazy Rich Asians 2 might grace our screens but late 2026 is probably the earliest we can hope for. There’s also no official casting news, although World Of Reel presumes that Awkwafina and Michelle Yeoh will reprise their roles in the sequel.
China Rich Girlfriend finds Nick Young estranged from his family after the disastrous events of Crazy Rich Asians. Nick’s mother Eleanor thinks she’s found Rachel’s long-lost father which brings the families back together, but we can assume it leads to all kinds of mayhem.
In 2022, it was also reported that Gemma Chan’s Astrid would be getting her own spin-off film, so we might have even more Crazy Rich Asians in our future.
