Riches

If you’re missing Succession, look no further than ITV1’s six-part high-stakes drama Riches, which tells the story of the wealthy but complicated Richards family.

For years, their multi-million-pound hair-and-cosmetics firm, Flair & Glory, has dominated the Black-British beauty scene. But when patriarch Stephen (Hugh Quarshie) dies unexpectedly, it kicks off a messy fight for control of the business.

Initially, everyone assumes Stephen’s three spoilt adult children from his second marriage to Claudia (Ted Lasso’s Sarah Niles) will inherit the empire.
