Deborah Ayorinde, CJ Beckford, Emmanuel Imani & Ola Orebiyi ... Talk Riches

After debuting on ITVX, Riches is coming to ITV1 Friday 1st July.

Written and part directed by Abby Ajayi, whose experience includes working on Shonda Rhimes' How to Get Away With Murder, Riches tells the story of the complicated Richards family, who for over twenty years, their hair and cosmetics empire, Flair & Glory, has dominated the hair and beauty scene. When Stephen the family's patriarch unexpectedly dies, Stephen’s second wife, Claudia, fully expects that their adult children Alesha, Gus and Wanda will inherit the business but when Stephen’s will bequeaths the controlling interest in the business to Nina and Simon, the children of his first marriage, the scene is set for a messy showdown with both factions of the family vying for control.
