Good news, “Fresh Off the Boat” fans.
Comedian/writer Ali Wong and actor/filmmaker Randall Park are slated to star in an upcoming Netflix feature comedy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

There’s sure to be great chemistry between Wong and Randall because, according to the Angry Asian Man blog, the two, along with Golamco, “go way back to their days at UCLA.”
We can’t wait to see the sparks fly.
