Amidst all the madness, Chu is also still working on one of his other highly-anticipated projects: the sequel to Crazy Rich Asians.

In 2024, Deadline reported that Universal Pictures won the rights to adapt Spears's memoir2023's The Woman in Meinto a feature film. Who would helm the story? None other than filmmaker Jon M. Chu, who is no stranger to the music world. He directed the concert documentary Justin Bieber: Never Say Never in his early days, the mega-hit Wicked adaptation last year, and its follow-up Wicked: For Good, debuting November 21.

The judges' table had a special addition: Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli were joined by guest judge Jon M. Chu, director of Wicked and the upcoming Wicked: For Good.
