Corey Cott Joins Kim Cattrall In FOX's New Dramedy FILTHY RICH

According to Deadline, Corey Cott has joined the cast of FOX'S new series FILTHY RICH. Also announced to be joining the cast are Aubrey Dollar, Benjamin Aguilar and Mark L. Young. The drama-pilot comes from and will be directed by Tate Taylor, known for writing THE HELP.

Deadline shares that the series is "a larger-than-life Southern gothic dramedy that revolves around two strong, sharp women, Margaret Monroe (Cattrall) and Ginger Sweet, who will go to any length to protect their loved ones and get their due.

When the wealthy CEO of the world's largest Christian network dies in a plane crash, his wife and adult children are stunned to discover he has grown, illegitimate kids who are also in his will. When the steel azalea matriarch of THE FAMILY tries to pay them to go away, these newly legitimized heirs have very different ideas and insist on not only staying in town but becoming part of THE FAMILY empire."
