Gemma Chan Reveals If She’ll Return for ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Sequel Series After Being Left Off Cast List

Gemma Chan is speaking out about the recently announced Crazy Rich Asians television show!

The 43-year-old actress, who starred in the hit movie, was notably left off of the upcoming sequel series’ cast list, leading fans to question if she’ll reprise her role as Astrid, a cousin of Henry Golding‘s character, Nick.

While attending the 2026 BFI London Film Festival screening of her upcoming movie Josephine, Gemma addressed whether or not she will be in the sequel series.

Will Gemma Chan be in the Crazy Rich Asians TV show?

“I love Crazy Rich Asians, I love the people involved,” Gemma told Film Updates. “Astrid has such a special place in my heart so I hope so. I can’t say any more than that for now.”

Fans have been outraged that Gemma and Harry Shum Jr were not included in the cast list after it was previously believed the planned sequel would focus more on their characters.

If you recall, Astrid decided to end her marriage to Michael (Pierre Png) in the movie and reconnected with her ex-fiancé, Charlie Wu (Shum Jr), in the mid-credits scene.

In 2022, it was reported that a spinoff movie focusing on Astrid and Charlie’s romance was in the works.

A Broadway musical adaptation is also in the works, with the movie’s director Jon M Chu set to direct, which would mark his Broadway directorial debut.
