CENTURY CITY, Calif. - Corruption moves into the neighborhood on January 8th when
"The Riches" Season One debuts on DVD from Fox Home Entertainment. An intimate look at a family that is less than ordinary,
"The Riches" is a "unique and intoxicating" (
San Francisco Chronicle) drama featuring superb performances from Emmy-winner Eddie Izzard* (
Ocean's Thirteen, My Super Ex-Girlfriend) and Oscar-nominee Minnie Driver** (
Good Will Hunting, Grosse Pointe Blank), who most recently received a 2007 Emmy® nod, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, for her performance in "
The Riches."
Wayne and Dahlia Malloy (Izzard and Driver) and their three children are a family of on-the-run travelers who live their lives conning and scamming the unsuspecting, greedy "buffers" of the world. However one day - in a darkly comedic, yet fortuitous twist of fate - an opportunity presents itself, allowing The Malloys to escape from their past by pulling off the con of all cons...join the enemy and become "
The Riches." Little did The Riches know that while life on the road may have been hard, that was nothing compared to life as law abiding citizens in an affluent gated community!
"The Riches" Season One four-disc DVD set includes all 13 episodes from the critically-acclaimed first season and features audio commentaries from Izzard and creator Dmitry Lipkin, webisodes, a gag reel and more.
"The Riches" Season One will be available to own for $49.98 U.S. / $69.98 Canada.
Since Wayne Malloy can't buy the American dream, he's going to steal it! The Malloys are Travelers, con artists living one step ahead of the law, and now, together with his wife and children, Wayne is pulling his biggest scam ever. They assume the identities of a family living a privileged life in an exclusive suburban development. But, with nosy neighbors, vengeful fellow Travelers and the authorities hot on their trail, can they possibly pull it off?
"The Riches" Season One is an engaging and offbeat drama infused with wickedly dark humor so original and captivating that to miss it would be a crime!
