CRAZY RICH ASIANS' critical and box office success continues to send ripples throughout Hollywood, ground zero for America's pop culture.

HBO is the latest network to jump on the bandwagon. The network is developing a dark comedy featuring all Asian American leads.

The network that is home to Game of Thrones, The Sopranos and True Detective is developing a comedy series that takes place in Los Angeles' Koreatown titled - naturally - K-town. It is the creation of Jason Kim and Greta Lee,

Lee will also play Yumi, a self-proclaimed Brentwood Barbie who has rejected her Korean roots. She is part of the Kang family, K-town's power brokers.

Lee said, “Jason and I both have a lot of experiencing working with them [HBO], it’s a very comfy place for us,” according to Vulture.Kim currently serves as a producer on HBO’s comedy series Barry. He recently was a consulting producer for “Love” on Netflix, and prior to that was an executive story editor on HBO’s Girls, where Lee and Kim met when Lee had a role as Soojin.

If HBO likes the pilot and decides to make it part of their stable, K-town would become the first  series by the network starring Asian Americans.
