Dorothy Wang is joined by a bustling group of sophisticated and affluent Asian Americans from New York for Bling Empire: New York, including It-girl Tina Leung. As seen in the teaser, sparkle, fashion and feathers (if you can find them) is the name of the status game as the cast parties and feuds throughout New York’s concrete jungle.

What’s more in store from Bling Empire: New York?

Netflix states, “Conversations are direct, not coded. And competition – for love, for money, and for power – is fierce.”

A good mix of top-brass health professionals, actors, models and influencers have been roped in for the New York spin-off which is sure to give viewers a peek into the ultra-luxe lifestyle of the new set of these ‘crazy rich Asians’.

In the official clip by Netflix, we see Dorothy struggling to find a cab and she says to camera that “My move to New York is actually a lot harder on me than I thought. I typically can hand a lot and I’m a one-woman show and I can usually do a lot.”

She adds about her struggle to settle in New York, “The first two weeks I cried a lot. Things were just a lot harder than in LA.”

Earlier, in the teaser we caught a glimpse of the cast members, a lot of bling and the sneak peek into the drama we can expect. Dorothy is hoping to vibe more with New York guys than LA ones. We smell a romance coming.
