Anthony Veasna So's "Afterparties" has been picked up for TV

The late Anthony Veasna So's work is coming to television.

Deadline reports that Afterparties, the collection of short stories that became an instant bestseller, will become a half-hour TV series.

Afterparties mixed humor and heart in sharing the stories of Cambodian-Americans.

So died before the book's publication, but hopefully the executive producer's credentials would have met with his approval.

Lauren Yee is developing Celeste Ng's Everything I Never Told You as a limited series and also wrote for the TV adaptation of Min Jin Lee's Pachinko.
