The series\u2019 ethos is embedded in the glamorous lifestyles of the rich and famous who\u2019ve made the French Riviera their playground, and the show\u2019s central figure, art curator Georgina Clios (Julia Stiles), finds herself entangled in the region\u2019s sordid underbelly.<\/p>\n<p><em>Riviera<\/em> follows as Georgina\u2019s husband Constantine, a billionaire banker, dies in a yacht explosion (how else?), leaving her behind to pick up the pieces of her shattered life as she unravels the secrets of his death and, incidentally, his past. Her journey is complicated by her late husband\u2019s ex-wife and children\u2014one of whom is played by <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>\u2019 Iwan Rheon\u2014and she\u00a0soon finds herself in danger. Will Arnett (<em>Arrested Development<\/em>) leads the pack of talent set to join the already star-studded cast for the second season.<\/p>\n<p><em>Riviera<\/em> was Sky\u2019s most successful original series ever, with a first season that drew an average of 2.3 million viewers an episode. The show returns to Sky for season two on May 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The executive producers talk about maintaining the show\u2019s momentum and how they\u2019ve gone even bigger for the glossy thriller\u2019s second round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11319,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[3101,3100,1198],"class_list":["post-11318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-kris-thykier","tag-paul-mcguinness","tag-riviera","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Riviera\u2019s Paul McGuinness &amp;
