“Well, hopefully. I mean, I heard that they’re doing another Crazy Rich Asians,” Henry said.

In another exclusive interview, this time with ETonline.com, Henry reacted, admitting that all he knows is that a potential television version is currently in the works.

“We’ll see. I think they’re sort of figuring it out—very, very early stages. That’s what I know, to be honest," he mentioned.

The Hollywood actor went on to discuss the many possibilities, noting that there’s still plenty of material to work with: "We've got two books to adapt and a lot of characters for the spin-off.”

Following the news that a Crazy Rich Asians television series is in the works, the director of the original film, Jon M. Chu, teased the development in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

He mentioned that while they are still working on a potential movie, the details are something he won’t reveal just yet. However, he noted that a TV platform would allow them to include all the characters of the story.

“I don’t know if it’s in lieu of a sequel but it felt clear that every character we wanted to explore needed more room and just a movie wasn’t doing it for us,” the director revealed.

The planned series will still be based on Kevin Kwan’s best-selling trilogy of novels: Crazy Rich Asians, China Rich Girlfriend, and Rich People Problems.

The trilogy follows Rachel Chu, a simple woman from New York, as she meets the family of her boyfriend, Nick Young, who she discovers is extremely wealthy and one of Singapore’s most eligible bachelors. As she becomes immersed in Nick’s elite world, Rachel must navigate jealous socialites, quirky relatives, and, worst of all, his disapproving, snobbish mother.

A major critical and commercial success, its film adaptation grossed over $238 million on a budget of $30 million, making it the highest-grossing romantic comedy of the 2010s. It also received widespread acclaim for the performances of its cast, the screenplay, and its production design.
