“Rich Kids of Instagram” Tumblr Gets Its Own Unscripted Series, Rich Kids of Beverly Hills
If shows like the Real Housewives of New Jersey aren’t gaudy enough, and if Keeping up with the Kardashians isn’t vapid enough, then there’s another “unscripted series” in production right now that’s right up your alley. One of the most popular Tumblrs, “Rich Kids of Instagram,” will get its own show on E! soon called Rich Kids of Beverly Hills.
The “Rich Kids of Instagram” Tumblr account, for those who don’t know, is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a series of photos, along with their Instagram captions, of affluent kids who are assumed to not have worked for their wealth. Or, considering how excited some of them seem to be about being rich, probably a lot of new money. For example, the above photo is from today, captioned “Put the lion on the rari.” Oh my.
Rich Kids of Beverly Hills is being described as “a new unscripted series that revolves around a group of 20-something friends living in a world of extreme wealth who caught notice on Instagram.” Also, “the offspring of the most elite families and billionaire moguls party, play and support each other against a backdrop of wealth.” Apparently, the show will feature some of the more notorious people from the Tumblr blog.
According to Deadline, the series is being produced by ITV Studios America in association with Leepson Bounds Entertainment and will be broadcast on E!
