What is the future of Riches?
Unfortunately, Riches has been cancelled by Prime Video after one season, and will not return for a second season. The creator of the show, Abby Ajayi, announced the news on social media, thanking the fans and the cast and crew for their support. She also expressed her disappointment and sadness over the decision, saying that she had more stories to tell about the Richards family.
However, she also hinted that there might be a possibility of continuing the show elsewhere, saying that she is “not giving up hope” and that she is “open to exploring other avenues”. She also encouraged the fans to keep watching and sharing the show, and to keep the conversation going.
A Diverse and Talented Cast
Riches boasts a diverse and talented cast that brings the complex and flawed characters to life. Deborah Ayorinde, who starred in Them and Girls Trip, plays Nina Richards, the eldest daughter of Stephen who left the UK to pursue a career in journalism in New York. She is shocked to learn that she has been named the new head of Flair & Glory, despite having no experience in the industry.
Hugh Quarshie, who is known for his roles in Holby City and Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, plays Stephen Richards, the charismatic and visionary founder of Flair & Glory, who dies of a stroke in the first episode.
