The Riches, FX's drama about a family of Irish travelers trying to swindle their way to the American Dream, returns a week from tonight for its second season — and things aren't looking so good for the Riches Malloys. The first season was spent building their lies and getting their ritzy new community to believe them; now, it appears that their precarious dream life is about to collapse.
Maybe that's not giving enough credit to Doug Rich/Wayne Malloy (Eddie Izzard), the first-class con man who's always been able to get his family out of any jam up till now. But this time around, the rest of the Malloys — especially Wayne's wife, Dahlia (Minnie Driver) — don't seem to be as on board with his scams. It looks like an interesting new dynamic for a family that's gotten where they are by working as a unit, them against the world.
The Riches will only have seven episodes this season as a result of the writers' strike, so I'd expect things to move pretty quickly from the start of the March 18 premiere. To check out a couple of clips with scenes from the season and interviews with the stars, just read more.

...love this show! I can't wait for it to come back on!
1Just a week to go! I can hardly wait! :giddy:
2Wheee! I've been eager for its return.
(Sad that its sophomore season will suffer so severely [[ please forgive the alliteration; it was unintentional, but I don't feel like changing it]] -- I hope they're able to offer a quality season, with so few episodes. I'd be devastated if this show weren't renewed for another season due to writer's strike butchering.)
3I got sucked into this show and I am super pumped for its return.
4Such a good show, but somehow I missed the last 2 episodes. I hope they show them again, or are they available online?
5This show is also one of my favorites! I'm a huge fan of Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver in this, and I love the dark humor.
Even though it will only be 7 episodes, I'm glad we're just getting any episodes at all. I'm going to encourage my friends to tune in when the show returns on the 18th, and if you do the same 'duck duck goose' we can hopefully get a third season! I'm sure they'll love the show too.
6Terryt - They don't stream the videos on their website but Hulu just went public today and they have them up there! I work with FX so i have the intel
7It's been forever...I had almost forgotten about this show! I would hate to miss it though. It's definitely one of those "best shows nobody's watching." Thanks for the reminder, Buzz!
8Thanks briggs! I'm totally a hulu member...when I remember I am! I'll check it out.
