After abandoning his first wife and two older children, Nina and Simon, he continues to live the \u201cgood life\u201d with his new, younger wife and their children together. Meanwhile, Nina and Simon have established themselves as business people in their own right. When Stephen suffers a stroke that leaves his life hanging in the balance, his children collide in a complicated family reunion.<\/p>\n<p>Banijay Rights will be responsible for international distribution of the drama on behalf of Greenacre Films.<\/p>\n<p>Polly Hill, ITV\u2019s head of drama, said: \u201cI am so proud to be making this show with Greenacre Films. Abby\u2019s scripts are brilliant and have you hooked into the story of the Richards family from the start. It\u2019s aspirational, entertaining storytelling about power and success, but it\u2019s also a brilliant family drama. I think it will be a compelling and addictive show to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nadine Marsh-Edwards and Amanda Jenks, producers from Greenacre Films, said:\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s fantastic to be back working with Polly and ITV on this compelling and nuanced series and to be working with the incredibly talented Abby Ajayi to bring the Richards to the screen is an absolute joy. We think that it&#8217;s going to be a lot of fun and can&#8217;t wait to bring such an entertaining and brilliant family into people\u2019s homes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Abby Ajayi added: \u201cThe brash, complicated and indefatigable Richards family are a joy to write and I am thrilled that this contemporary story about a Black British family and their ambitions has found a home at ITV with its enviable track record of popular dramas. I&#8217;m delighted to be working with Nadine Marsh-Edwards and Amanda Jenks, who have long proven their commitment to entertaining, inclusive storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ITV has commissioned the six-part drama Riches, produced by Greenacre Films and written and created by Abby Ajayi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":13948,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4131,4132,321,4133],"class_list":["post-13947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-abby-ajayi","tag-greenacre-films","tag-itv","tag-riches","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ITV Orders Greenacre Films\u2019 Riches - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/itv-orders-greenacre-films-riches\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ITV Orders Greenacre Films\u2019 Riches - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ITV has commissioned the six-part drama Riches, produced by Greenacre Films and written and created by Abby Ajayi.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/itv-orders-greenacre-films-riches\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-10-16T13:42:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-10-16T15:27:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/abby-ajayi-1020.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/itv-orders-greenacre-films-riches\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/itv-orders-greenacre-films-riches\/\",\"name\":\"ITV Orders Greenacre Films\u2019 Riches - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-10-16T13:42:24+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-10-16T15:27:18+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/itv-orders-greenacre-films-riches\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/itv-orders-greenacre-films-riches\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/itv-orders-greenacre-films-riches\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"ITV Orders Greenacre Films\u2019 Riches\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
