HBO’s series adaptation of “Crazy Rich Asians” is on the hunt for fresh talent, with a global casting search underway for two roles.

Young Entertainment announced the global casting call on Tuesday, while Kevin Kwan, author of the novel on which “Crazy Rich Asians” is based, shared a similar casting poster.

The production team for the series is looking for an actor who can portray Posy described as an East Asian woman in her 30s who is “beautiful, glamorous and brazenly ambitious.”

The character must be fluent in English and have some familiarity with Mandarin, according to the casting poster.

The series is also looking for an actor to play William, a Chinese man in his 20s who is “charismatic [and] handsome.”

Wiliam, who also has a “mischievous streak and a larger-than-life personality,” must also be fluent in English and conversational Mandarin.

Interested applicants can audition by commenting “CRAZY” on Young Entertainment’s Facebook post to receive casting details and submission instructions.

Young Entertainment also reminded that “auditions are free,” advising applicants to “always review the official casting requirements before submitting.”

Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ronny Chieng and Michelle Yeoh are expected to reprise their roles from the 2018 film in the upcoming series adaptation.

The 2018 film follows a Chinese American professor who travels to Singapore with her boyfriend, only to discover that he belongs to one of the city-state’s wealthiest families.
