Henry Golding revealed he has reconnected with several of his Crazy Rich Asians collaborators as the hit film, based on author Kevin Kwan’s book trilogy, gets a future on the small screen.

Golding, who starred as affluent heartthrob Nick Young in the 2018 film, this week told the Today show on US television that he recently reunited with co-stars Awkwafina and Gemma Chan, on separate occasions, and discussed the series currently in development at Max.

“Everyone is excited,” he said.
