Harry Shum Jr. Eyes Return in 'Glee' Reboot and 'Crazy Rich Asians' HBO Series: 'Would Love to Find a Way'

Harry Shum Jr., currently competing on Dancing with the Stars, is open to reprising his roles in two major franchise continuations: the newly announced Glee reboot at Disney+ and Hulu, and the Crazy Rich Asians series ordered by HBO. Shum played Mike Chang on the original Glee and Charlie Wu in the 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians. In a recent interview, he expressed enthusiasm about returning, saying he would 'love to try and find a way to make it work' for both projects. The Glee reboot, announced October 21, will be a new story set in the same universe, while the Crazy Rich Asians series, reported October 7, will expand the film's world. Shum's involvement would connect both new projects to their original fan bases, potentially boosting viewership. His dual interest highlights the growing trend of reviving beloved properties, and his star power from Dancing with the Stars could attract new audiences. Whether scheduling allows him to join both remains to be seen.
