Upfronts: CW picks up 'Filthy Rich' drama by 'Everwood's' Rina Mimoun
Move over "Gossip Girl." You're getting some company.
The CW has picked up "Surviving the Filthy Rich," a drama adaptation of the Zoey Dean novel "How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls." The story centers on a Yale graduate who has moved to Manhattan, but nothing is going as planned. When her job at a tabloid magazine turns sour, she accepts a position working for infamous teenage twins who are filthy rich, and unmarketable, as far as their grandmother and upper-echelon colleges are concerned. Her challenge? Get them into an A-list university. Her reward? Ample pay, plus a significant check that will wipe out her hefty college loans.
Created by Rina Mimoun, executive producer of "Everwood," the series seems like an obvious companion for Serena and the gang.
