The casts of “Fresh Off the Boat” and “Kim’s Convenience” will reunite on May 30 for an online charity table read, Deadline reports.
To celebrate Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month, each cast will be reading the scripts of their show’s pilot episode. Fresh Off the Boat‘s Randall Park, Constance Wu, Hudson Yang, Forrest Wheeler and Ian Chen will reunite for the table read.

There will be a Zoom Q&A session following the table reads for fans who donated $10. The donations will go to Asian American and Asian Canadian nonprofit arts organizations like the theater company East West Players; the media arts collective and presenters of the L.A. Asian Pacific Film Festival Visual Communications; and Reel Asian, which hosts Toronto’s Reel Asian International Film Festival.
The event will be streamed on the Facebook and Youtube pages of Seed & Spark, a crowdfunding organization, according to CBC. It begins at 6 p.m. PST.
