Billionaire Apocalypse Drama in Development for FOX

FOX Entertainment Studios is in development on a new drama, Billionaire Apocalypse (w.t.), for the FOX Television Network.

The drama counts Jay Carson, creator and writer of Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, as writer and executive producer. Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Bastards, Good Will Hunting), Kevin Brown (Flesh and Bone, Soul of the Game, Seven Seconds) and Hugh Jackman are also executive producing.

In the series, the richest man on the planet, 200 of his employees and his family are forced to flee to his private island in the wake of a global financial collapse, where the employees and family members—who he’s treated as afterthoughts for decades—quickly realize he’s no longer rich and thus no longer in charge.

FOX Entertainment Global will distribute the drama globally.
