Amy Wang shares update on ‘Crazy Rich Asians 2’

Screenwriter Amy Wang says the long-awaited sequel to “Crazy Rich Asians” is still in the works, but fans will need to be patient. Speaking with The Direct during the “Slanted” premiere at SXSW in March, Wang offered a rare update on the status of the romantic comedy follow-up.

“As far as I know, it is still going to happen,” she said. “But it’s just that everyone’s taking their time. Everybody wants to make the script perfect and great. And you know, they want the sequel to be better than the past.”

While cast and producers have hinted at development over the years, Wang’s comments mark the most recent confirmation that “Crazy Rich Asians 2” remains active, though no release timeline has been announced.
