“These kids are larger than life personalities who are charismatic, shockingly wealthy and born into lifestyles that are outrageously spectacular,” said E!’s programming and development executive vice president, Jeff Olde, in a statement.

“They live a fantasy life on a scale that you just can’t turn away from and then they document it all via social media,” he continued. “But at the core, I think viewers will be drawn into the fact that they are genuinely good friends who still have to navigate friendships, relationships and life — but they get to do it all in luxury cars, yachts and private jets, which is really fun to watch.”

David Leepson, Gennifer Gardiner and Doron Ofir serve as executive producers on the ITV Studios America/Leepson Bounds Entertainment production.
