Eddie Huang’s voice won’t be heard narrating "Fresh Off the Boat’s" second-season premiere — and likely will not be heard again.
Sources close to the show tell Vulture Huang has not recorded any voice-overs for the new season of the ABC comedy, and there is currently no plan for him to return.

In Tuesday night’s second-season premiere, youngest son Evan is heard narrating the start of the story, but it's only used as a plot device to kick off the season. Ian Chen, who plays Evan, does not perform a voice-over throughout the episode.
Huang, who wrote the memoir on which "FOTB" is based, has had a mixed history with the series: He’s praised elements at times but also took issue with what ABC had done to his life story in a New York Magazine essay. He later took to Twitter to announce he was no longer watching it.
For the record I don't watch #FreshOffTheBoat on @ABCNetwork

I had to say something because I stood by the pilot. After that it got so far from the truth that I don't recognize my own life.
