If you loved the blockbuster movie “Crazy Rich Asians”, get ready to meet the Hos.
You are the Saskatoon family at the center of HBO Max’s documentaries, which are inspired by the movie and Kevin Kwan’s best-selling book trilogy, Crazy Rich Asian. The series is filmed in Saskatoon and is expected to air later this year.
The Ho family is led by Patriarch Binh Ho and his wife Hue Ho.
Her show is titled “The Hos” and contains eight 30-minute episodes about the Vietnamese immigrant family who, according to Variety.com, built a multi-million dollar banking and real estate development company in Saskatoon. The series gives viewers a glimpse into their lavish Saskatoon lifestyles and reveals their close family relationships. And like in the movie, there will be a drama.
