Crazy Rich Asians’ Author Developing New Show with STXtv

STXtv has acquired the rights to a new scripted series created by David Sangalli and Kevin Kwan, the author of the Crazy Rich Asians/China Rich Girlfriend/Rich People Problems trilogy.

The as-yet-untitled series will be a jet-setting drama following characters across the U.S., Europe and China. It marks the pair’s debut in television.

“This project is the perfect embodiment of the type of talent-driven, premium content series with a unique East-West appeal that STXtv was created to develop,” said the company. “Kevin and David are crazy gifted storytellers and we’re proud to bring their newest creation to life on new platforms around the world.”

Added Kwan, “There is no better home than STXtv for my next act. With the final book in the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy coming out on May 23, loyal readers have already been asking, what’s next? We are so excited to be able to announce this development deal at STX because we can’t wait to take my fans and a whole new audience into an extraordinary world they’ve never seen before.”
