The premise of this 2020 series (not to be confused with the 1982 show of the same name or the Jeffrey Epstein documentary) focuses on the Monreaux family, a fictional Southern dynasty that built a Christian television empire.
The show could not maintain a strong enough viewership to justify its production budget during a challenging financial time for TV networks. The Verdict: Worth a Watch?
Despite a strong premiere, the show struggled to maintain a consistent audience and was officially cancelled by Fox on October 30, 2020.
Filthy Rich was not meant to be a quiet drama. It was campy, often over-the-top, and embraced its role as a primetime soap opera. Critics and fans noted its similarity to other "rich and scandalous" shows, featuring sharp dialogue and surprising plot twists. Why Was It Cancelled?
(like the 1982 show or the 2020 Netflix documentary) Let me know which direction you'd like to take! filthy rich - that's entertainment!
