Four years after the runaway success of the Crazy Rich Asians movie in 2018, a sequel is under way with a new writer, Amy Wang, after the original writers left after a pay dispute.

According to entertainment website Deadline, Wang, who is Chinese-Australian, will be the sole writer for the sequel directed by Jon M. Chu, who had helmed the first movie.
