‘Empire’ Producers Eric Haywood and Malcolm Spellman Reteam for ‘Billionaire Class’ at Fox
“Billionaire Class,” a new one-hour drama hailing from Malcolm Spellman (“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” “Bel-Air”) and Eric Haywood (“Manifest,” “Law & Order: Organized Crime”) is in development at Fox, TheWrap has confirmed. The logline is as follows: “A brilliant but disillusioned billionaire’s executive assistant (Jo) teaches a charismatic, fast-talking street hustler (Miles) how to walk, talk and act like a billionaire in order to con her employer’s super-wealthy friends into using their money to help the less fortunate.” The series is billed as a “high-stakes wish-fulfillment drama, offering a complex vision of wealth, race and equity in America.”Haywood and Spellman will serve as executive producers, reuniting since their time together on the same network as producers on “Empire,” starring Taraji P.
