Awkwafina, the writer, rapper and actress, is about to take her talents to Comedy Central with a self-titled, half-hour sitcom, Deadline reports.
The blaccent critiques raised on the Crazy Rich Asians press tour will likely follow her to Comedy Central though, so hopefully the show — particularly as an origin story — finds a meaningful way to engage with it.
Awkwafina will trace the star’s early years when she was simply a twentysomething chasing viral views with her comedic mixtapes.
Awkwafina is pulling triple duty on the project, acting, writing, and executive-producing in all 10 episodes.
