Oscar nominee Riz Ahmed (The Night Of, Sound of Metal) and Lulu Wang, writer and director of The Farewell, are teaming up to produce a comedy series for Amazon titled, Son of Good Fortune. Based on the novel of the same name by Lysley Tenorio, the series is about an undocumented Filipino teenager in the Bay Area navigating a tumultuous relationship with his former B-movie action star mother, falling in love for the first time, and working out how to pay back a massive debt before his whole life crumbles.

Andrew Lopez will adapt the book for the screen and serve as an executive producer. Ahmed will executive produce along with Allie Moore of Left Handed. Wang and Dani Melia executive produce for Local Time. Tenorio will serve as consulting producer, with Amazon Studios producing.

This sounds like a solid project with great talent involved, and good story potential. I look forward to checking it out. We will let you know when more info becomes available. Will you be checking out Son of Good Fortune?
