The Crazy Rich Asians author has been granted a pilot commitment by CBS for a comedy series as a co-creator, Variety reported on Friday (October 26).

The show, called The Emperor of Malibu, “follows two very different families–one from Shanghai with new money and one from the East coast of the U.S. with old money– that must learn to co-exist when their children get married.”

Kevin will write alongside David Sangalli.

At the same time, as previously reported, the duo is also working on an Amazon drama centered around a Hong Kong family and their influential business empire.
