Richie Rich is an American sitcom series produced by DreamWorks Animation's AwesomenessTV for Netflix.[1] The show is loosely based upon the Harvey Comics character of the same name, with Jake Brennan playing the eponymous character.[2] The first season, consisting of 10 episodes, was released on February 20, 2015.[3] A second season of 11 episodes was released on May 22, 2015.[4]

Plot

Richie Rich is a boy who turned vegetables into a clean energy source. As a result, Rich now has over a trillion dollars. Rich lives with his family in a mansion filled with toys, contraptions, and his best friends Darcy and Murray are always by his side, along with Irona, Rich's robot maid, his dad Cliff, who loves naps and is a bit dense, and his jealous sister Harper. Also, Darcy loves spending money and Murray doesn't want anything out of budget.

Cast

Main

  • Jake Brennan as Richie Rich,[1] after finding a way to harness energy from vegetables, he becomes a child trillionaire.
  • Brooke Wexler as Irona,[1] Richie's robotic maid.
  • Kiff VandenHeuvel as Cliff Rich,[1] Richie's and Harper's dad.

Production

The series was announced in October 2014 as part of an ongoing partnership between Netflix and DreamWorks Animation, in which DreamWorks will create 300 hours of original programming for the service.[6] Unlike the comics, where the lead character comes from a wealthy family, Richie Rich has a self-made fortune from an innovative green technology. The series follows his adventures with his new wealth. Brian Robbins (co-founder and CEO of DreamWorks Animation-owned AwesomenessTV), Tim Pollock and Jeff Hodsden (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody) are the executive producers and showrunners. Additionally, AwesomenessTV's Shauna Phelan and Joe Davola serve as executive producers on the series.[2]
