Amy Tan is teaming up with screenwriter Ron Bass to create a sequel to the 1993 film, The Joy Luck Club.

The original film was based on Amy Tan’s novel of the same title and was directed by Wayne Wang. 

In the sequel, “the mothers become grandmothers and the daughters become mothers in their own right, introducing a new generation exploring their own relationships with culture, heritage, love, womanhood and identity,” Variety reports. “The original leading cast is in talks to return to their roles, as mothers and grandmothers of their families. The film will also offer significant casting opportunities for a new generation of Asian female-identifying actors, from the granddaughters to supporting roles.”
