Jason C. chats with Lucy Kate Hale, Ashley Newbrough and JoAnna Garcia. The girls star in the new CW dramedy, Surviving the Filthy Rich, Tuesday nights following 90210. Get some insight on the characters and hear about the fashion right here:
The success of Gossip Girl must have the network thinking that another cocktail of rich kids, parties, and excess could be a good bet -- The CW has greenlighted a new TV series based on a popular novel, "How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls," by Zoey Dean. The story? Yale grad Megan Smith is struggling to pay off her loans ends up tutoring a pair of obscenely rich Palm Beach siblings. If they get into Duke, she gets $75,000. Sounds nice, right? But of course, it's not that simple.
We don't know much more about the show yet, but it bodes well for it that Rina Mimoun will write and executive produce the pilot. She's got some credentials -- she's currently working on the quirky ABC hit Pushing Daisies, and she executive produced the cancelled-before-its-time WB drama Everwood (which we still miss!).
