In New York, Stephen’s estranged children from his first marriage, Nina (Ayorinde) and Simon (Imani), have established themselves as entrepreneurs in their own right, each successful in their own field.

When Stephen suffers a sudden medical emergency, the family’s world comes crashing down. As his life hangs in the balance, his different sets of children are about to collide. With secrets and lies rising to the surface and the Richards empire at stake, it’s going to be a complicated family reunion.

The series also stars Brendan Coyle as Stephen’s trusted advisor and confidante, Gideon. Hermione Norris, as Stephen’s faithful assistant, Maureen Dawson, and C.J. Beckford as Andre.

Ajayi called the drama a “love letter to Black London,” adding that it has been “thrilling to create the Richards family and celebrate their opulence, ambition and immigrant grit.”
