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.
The Snake Eyes and Another Simple Favor actor said he met Awkwafina 'the other night' and 'not too long ago' reconnected with Chan and
Crazy Rich Asians co-writer Adele Lim in London 'to sort of discuss where we're heading'.

Advika Mittal's top pick: Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are
Do you have a book, movie or show recommendation? Send us your top picks using this form . One of my favourite children's books is Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. This classic story follows a young boy named Max, who, after causing mischief at home, sails away to an island inhabited by wild creatures known as the Wild Things. What I love about this book is its imaginative journey. Max's adventure allows children to explore their emotions and the concept of imagination. The illustrations are stunning, capturing the wildness and wonder of the creatures, while the simple yet powerful text resonates deeply. The story beautifully conveys themes of adventure, emotional expression and the comfort of home. Max's transformation from a wild, unruly boy to a more reflective character highlights the importance of understanding one's feelings. Where the Wild Things Are inspires children to embrace their creativity and reminds them that it's fine to feel a range of emotions.

'You never know, especially as an actor, where your next pay cheque comes from,' he tells the Post. Only when he was promoted to a series regular did he finally feel he had the safety net he had long desired. 'At least now all my rent will be paid for,' he recalls thinking.

A new wave of influencers is taking over social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. Gone are the days of Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae , who earned their internet fame and fortune through dancing or dramatically lip-synching to the hottest song of the week. These days, the internet has turned its attention to the likes of Becca Bloom , Mei Leung, and Chloe L. who, youth and beauty aside, have two things in common – they're rich and they're Asian. Skyelar Chase has become a popular influencer on TikTok's #RichTok subculture.
