HOUSTON — Following the runaway success of ‘Crazy Rich Asians’, HBO Max – an upcoming online video service from WarnerMedia Entertainment – has ordered the development of a docuseries titled ‘The Ho’s’.
The eight-episode half-hour series will follow a super-rich Vietnamese immigrant family who own a bank and a real estate firm. Binh Ho and his wife, Hue Ho, live a lavish lifestyle in Houston, Texas, alongside their children Judy and Washington. The series will follow the family as they navigate life in the US after moving penniless from Việt Nam, as well as the pressure faced by the young Ho’s trying to live up to their parents’ sky-high expectations.
“Rarely do you come across a family that is so rich in so many ways – not just in wealth, but in heart, traditions and love for each other,” said Jennifer O’Connell, Executive Vice President of Original Non-fiction and Kids Programming, HBO Max. “There’s great pride in being a Ho and they are ready to give the world a seat at their luxurious table.”
The series will be produced by Wallin Chambers Entertainment in association with Lionsgate TV.
“The Ho family is wildly engaging and we’re very excited to partner with HBO Max in bringing this hilarious and exuberant series to viewers,” said Alice Dickens-Koblin, Lionsgate SVP and head of unscripted programming.
HBO Max is expected to launch in the spring of 2020. — VNS
