The Crazy Rich Asians sequel has taken a crazy long time to make.

Its been four years since Jon. M Chus groundbreaking film became the most successful romantic comedy in nearly a decade, changing the course of Asian representation in Hollywood. Based on Kevin Kwans bestselling novel of the same name, the 2018 feature starred Henry Golding as the scion of an ultra-wealthy family who brings his Chinese American fiance (Constance Wu) home to Singapore, alongside a predominantly Asian cast that also included Michelle Yeoh, Gemma Chan and Awkwafina.

Now the follow-up to the film is officially underway with a new screenwriter.

Warner Bros. has tapped Chinese Australian writer Amy Wang to pen the sequel, which Chu will helm once again, according to a Deadline report published on Monday.

Wang, who is currently attached to two upcoming Netflix projects and won a 2018 Cannes Lion award for her short film Unnatural, will take the reins from the first films screenwriters, Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim.
