Looks like the Huangs will be making some new friends in the neighborhood.

"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s" Ming-Na Wen, "Grimm" alum Reggie Lee and Crazy Rich Asians’ Jimmy O. Yang are set for recurring roles opposite Randall Park and Constance Wu in the upcoming fifth season of ABC comedy series Fresh Off the Boat.

The role reunites Yang with Wu, with whom he appeared in box office smash Crazy Rich Asians.

Wen will play Elaine, a Chinese-American woman with a smart sense of humor who’s everything Jessica (Wu) could dream of in a Chinese BFF. They seem to have a million things in common, and Elaine earns the nickname “Chinese Oprah” for her ability to give wonderful advice.

Lee will portray Julius, a Chinese-American man who genuinely loves steak, apple pie, the Dallas Cowboys and other all-American things. Louis and him bond quickly, but their new friendship is put to the test by an old buddy of Louis’.

Yang is Horace, Elaine and Julius’s son, a talented, affable artist who skipped two grades and went to Harvard at age 16 on a full scholarship. His amazing résumé wins Jessica’s adoration until he reveals some secrets from his past.

We hear that Evan “discovers” the trio while he’s ringing doorbells, working for the United States Census. They will be introduced in the “Mo’ Chinese Mo’ Problems” episode, which will air in November, and they will return in at least one other episode later in the season.
