'Filthy Rich' Co-Executive Produced by Professor Blair Singer

Assistant Professor and co-head of the TV Writing concentration, Blair Singer served as co-executive producer on the drama series Filthy Rich, which has been scheduled by Fox to premiere in September of this year. 

Based on the New Zealand series of the eponymous name, Filthy Rich is 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.
