It tells the story of 11-year-old Harry Carter, a geeky kid who creates an app called Honc to help boys who don\u2019t know how to talk to girls. He becomes a multi-millionaire when his app is purchased by U.S. billionaire Trent Zebrisky, portrayed by Van Der Beek. Harry\u2019s father, who is content with his family\u2019s simple existence, tries to keep his two kids and wife in line as the cash comes rolling in. The series also stars Rhashan Stone, Kerry Godliman, John Finnemore and Rhianna Merralls.<\/p>\n<p><em>Carters Get Rich<\/em> was commissioned by Jon Mountague, the head of comedy for Sky. The series\u00a0is executive produced by Roughcut TV\u2019s Ash Atalla, alongside producer Alex Smith. It\u00a0is directed by Chris Cottam and written by Claire Downes, Stuart Lane and Ian Jarvis.<\/p>\n<p>Adam MacDonald, the director of Sky 1, said, &#8220;I can&#8217;t wait to share this thoroughly modern sitcom on Sky 1. Funny and fresh, the unstoppable Carter family put the &#8216;social&#8217; in &#8216;social media&#8217; and the &#8216;O.L.&#8217; in &#8216;L.O.L.&#8217; It&#8217;s a Honc-ing good show with a Honc-ing good cast!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ash Atalla, the managing director at Roughcut TV, commented, \u201cWe\u2019re very proud of this new series for Sky 1 and it\u2019s a fantastic example of Roughcut TV\u2019s ability to create a range of modern and mainstream sitcoms with international appeal. The team is thrilled to further build on our longstanding relationship with Sky and deliver another exciting new show for the broadcaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alex Smith, producer for Roughcut TV, added, &#8220;<em>Carters Get Rich<\/em>\u00a0features one of those families we all know as they go through an extraordinary life-changing experience. The show offers an interesting portrayal of how we might all go a bit bonkers if your 11-year-old is given millions of pounds.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: Sky 1 has ordered Roughcut TV\u2019s brand-new comedy series Carters Get Rich, featuring James Van Der Beek (Dawson\u2019s Creek).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":6847,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[666,445,122],"class_list":["post-6846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-carters-get-rich","tag-roughcut-tv","tag-sky-1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sky 1 Commissions Roughcut TV Comedy Carters Get Rich - TVEUROPE<\/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\/tveurope\/2016\/06\/28\/sky-1-commissions-roughcut-tv-comedy-carters-get-rich\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sky 1 Commissions Roughcut TV Comedy Carters Get Rich - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LONDON: Sky 1 has ordered Roughcut TV\u2019s brand-new comedy series Carters Get Rich, featuring James Van Der Beek (Dawson\u2019s Creek).\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/06\/28\/sky-1-commissions-roughcut-tv-comedy-carters-get-rich\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-06-28T15:09:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-06-28T17:05:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2015\/09\/CartersGetRich-RoughcutTVSky1-616.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\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\/tveurope\/2016\/06\/28\/sky-1-commissions-roughcut-tv-comedy-carters-get-rich\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/06\/28\/sky-1-commissions-roughcut-tv-comedy-carters-get-rich\/\",\"name\":\"Sky 1 Commissions Roughcut TV Comedy Carters Get Rich - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-06-28T15:09:53+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-06-28T17:05:54+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/06\/28\/sky-1-commissions-roughcut-tv-comedy-carters-get-rich\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/06\/28\/sky-1-commissions-roughcut-tv-comedy-carters-get-rich\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/06\/28\/sky-1-commissions-roughcut-tv-comedy-carters-get-rich\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Sky 1 Commissions Roughcut TV Comedy Carters Get Rich\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
