Following the groundbreaking success of Crazy Rich Asians’ $25 million theatrical debut, it has been confirmed that a sequel to the blockbuster romcom is already in the works!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. has acquired the rights to author Kevin Kwan’s entire bestselling trilogy and is reportedly “moving forward on development” on the highly-anticipated follow-up that is China Rich Girlfriend. Although the film studio has yet to officially greenlit the project, we think it wouldn’t be long before the Crazy Rich Asians gang get back together.

Nothing has been set in stone as of now, but here’s what we know thus far.

Jon M. Chu will still be directing.

What’s Crazy Rich Asians without Jon M. Chu, right? The American filmmaker is currently tied up with a couple of other projects, but sources say that he’s likely to return to helm the upcoming instalment after wrapping up the shooting of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In The Heights adaptation, which is scheduled for a June 2020 release.

There are also plans to bring back producers Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson and John Penotti from the original creative team, along with screenwriters Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim.

There’s already a teaser in the first movie.

Trust Jon to sneak in a teaser to the possible sequel as the closing scene of the first film. If you’ve stayed in your seats after the mid-credits scene, you’d have seen Astrid Teo (Gemma Chan) and her ex-fiancé Charlie Wu (Harry Shun Jr.) stealing glances at each other at the engagement party of Nick Young (Henry Golding) and Rachel Chu (Constance Wu). “The idea is to tell the story in the next movie,” Jon reveals to The Hollywood Reporter. “I made a promise to Harry, so I’m going to do it.”

Assuming that the second film follows the plot of the book, the story will pick up two years after the events of Crazy Rich Asians. Besides the love story of Nick and Rachel, China Rich Girlfriend also fleshes out the character arc of Astrid, who’s stuck in an abusive relationship with her newly-minted billionaire husband Michael Teo (Pierre Png) and slowly rekindles the romance with her first love Charlie. Will our former lovebirds get their happy ever after? We’ll just have to wait and find out.

Will the OG cast return?

Thanks to the massive box-office success of Crazy Rich Asians, it served as a major breakout role for many of the actors; a rare opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Hollywood. As the first major studio film to feature an all Asian and Asian-American cast (and even familiar faces from our very own Singapore) since 1993’s The Joy Luck Club, it’s no wonder the cast members hold an incredibly strong attachment to the Jon M. Chu-directed franchise – so much so that they “started hoping for a sequel before we even wrapped the first one”, wrote Nina Jacobson in an email.

We have no doubts that the main cast would make a grand comeback in the sequel, especially leading man Henry Golding. “It would be so much fun to get everybody back together, back to sweaty old Singapore.”

Oh, we can’t wait to welcome you back too.
