Preview — Filthy Rich Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot

Fox debuts its next tale of the consequences families face when men behave badly on the new “southern gothic fable” Filthy Rich.

Eugine Monreaux (Gerald McRaney) is an evangelical billionaire at the head of a Christian TV network when he suddenly dies in a plane crash.

His sins don’t die with him, they see the light of day when three children he’s fathered from three different affairs come forward to claim their share of his fortune. He’s at least written them into his will. 

This creates a mess for the strong-willed matriarch of the family Margaret Monreaux (Kim Cattrall) who will do everything in her power to protect her family’s fortune.

Everyone wants Gerald’s money. But with three new personalities in the Monreaux mix to shake things up, loyalties are not as strong as we may want to believe. 

Plus, Gerald isn’t the only member of his family with secrets.

Episode description: A Southern Gothic family drama in which wealth, power and religion collide – with outrageously soapy results. When the patriarch of a mega-rich Southern family, famed for creating a wildly successful Christian television network, dies in a plane crash, his wife and family are stunned to learn that he fathered three illegitimate children, all of whom are written into his will, threatening their family name and fortune. With monumental twists and turns, FILTHY RICH presents a world in which everyone has an ulterior motive – and no one is going down without a fight.
