Abby Ajayi talks about her new Prime Video family drama series “Riches,” the comparisons to “Succession,” learning from Shonda Rhimes, and more.
“There are so many shows about families, at the point when I started developing it, [but] I was more looking at real life [families] — the Hiltons, the Kardashians, the Guccis,” she told The Post. “By the time we were given the green light, ‘Succession’ had already come on television.”
Now adults, ambitious businesswoman Nina and gay stylist Simon live in America, and they haven’t spoken to their estranged father in over 20 years. His second family is his scheming widow Claudia , flighty influencer Alesha , party boy with an inferiority complex Gus and practical Wanda . “I love family drama stories, and family business stories,” said Ajayi , who will also be the showrunner on“I grew up watching shows like ‘Dynasty’ and ‘Dallas,’” she said. “But even in real life, whether you’re watching the Guccis or the Kardashians or the, I was always intrigued by how the stakes are raised when blood and money are mixed. And the producers and I were talking about areas in which we could bring in a black family business.
