According to The Hollywood Reporter, sources have reported that a spinoff of the series is currently in early development at ABC.
However, if you’re hoping to see Eddie and his family in the new series, you’ll be sorely disappointed, as it has been reported that the upcoming spinoff will center on an entirely new family.

Rather than revolving around one character from Fresh Off the Boat, the spinoff will revolve around an entirely new cast and central family from a different country, THR reports.
ABC Entertainment president, Karey Burke spoke to THR saying, “I’m looking for some more disruptive ideas in terms of franchises, trying to harken back to what I think were some of the great brand-defining shows of ABC, which led narratively and were braver in their construct, shows like Lost, Desperate Housewives and Scandal. And also frankly, Black-ish and Fresh Off the Boat.”

Not much else is known about the upcoming spinoff just yet but writer and producer, Rachna Fruchbom, who has been attached with the series since season two; will be penning the script as well as executive producing the spinoff alongside Melvin Mar.
