The soapy twists and turns of the Monreaux family won’t see a second season on FOX. The network has cancelled the Filthy Rich TV series after five episodes.
A Southern Gothic family drama series, the Filthy Rich TV show stars Kim Cattrall, Corey Cott, Olivia Macklin, Aubrey Dollar, Melia Kreiling, Benjamin Levy Aguilar, Mark L. Young, Steve Harris, Aaron Lazar, and Gerald McRaney. The Monreaux clan is a mega-rich Southern family that’s famous for creating a wildly successful Christian television network. On the cusp of launching a digital retail arm of the company, patriarch Eugene (McRaney) dies in a plane crash. His wife, Margaret (Cattrall), is left to take charge of the family business and is seen as a bigger-than-life leader to the religious and Southern communities. Eugene’s apparent death greatly impacts Margaret and the two adult Monreaux children but the whole clan’s lives are thrown into turmoil when it’s revealed that Eugene has named three illegitimate kids in his will. With plenty of plot twists and turns — mixed in with lies, deceit, and shade from every direction — this is a world in which everyone has an ulterior motive – and no one is going down without a fight.
The first season of Filthy Rich averages a 0.36 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.98 million viewers. It is one of the lowest-rated series currently on the network.
Five episodes have aired thus far and, according to Variety, the network will run the remaining five installments. FOX also cancelled low-rated neXt today. Both were reportedly cancelled due to low ratings and rising production costs due to COVID-19.

What do you think? Have you watched the Filthy Rich TV series? Would you have watched season two of this FOX series?
I loved this show, it got better and better with each episode…the writing and storyline kept me comming back each week. It was a pleasant way to escape the day to day negativity. Please give this deserving show a 2,nd chance to show you how good it is !
Svp la suite de flithy rich c’est juste génial
I was just starting to really get into it and now it’s been cancelled. This happens too often. At least give a series two seasons to get rolling!
Was really looking forward to Season 2, sob sob
I absolutely loved Filthy Rich .. please bring it back..
I am absolutely pissed that Filthy Rich was cancelled! Everytime there is something that goes against the norm of Christian based, they get cancelled. My mother and I (56 & 36) LOVED this show.
The show was great, I am sorry it got cut.
This is why I DO NOT watch network shows. They get you hooked and then cancel them. I bought this show because I work nights and can’t watch in real time. I am once again totally turned off by network shows!
I am so disappointed I enjoyed the night time soap
And after the season finale I wanted more NOW
I was absolutely looking forward to a second season. Thoroughly disappointed that it has been cancelled
Totally would have watched a second season….sad it was cancelled. Fox ALWAYS does this….cancels great shows before people have a chance to get into them
OMG!
I LOVE THIS SHOW! It started slow and built up to a great crescendo!
At least Deputy had a decent ending.
Come on Fox, quit cancelling good shows!
I really enjoyed this show!!! I hope another network takes it up. Great cast!!!
Amazing Cast!
I am sick and tired of fox getting rid of great shows like this. I am sick and tired of fox in itself. Nothing but a bunch of greedy ass producers that don’t give a **** about what anyone likes. **** fox
I’m 32 and I freaking LOVED THIS SHOW!! Fox is always canceling the good stuff and leaving us hanging!
My wife and I (27 &36) Loved this show too! We’re not religious by any means, but felt it was a great melding of two opposite worlds and view points. I hate that they canceled this too 🙁 Hopeful that a streaming service continues it!
