Dirty Sexy Money
Dirty Sexy Money is an American television series created by Craig Wright, which premiered on the American Broadcasting Company on September 26, 2007. The series revolves around lawyer and family man Nick George, portrayed by Peter Krause. When Nick's father mysteriously dies in a plane crash, he agrees to take his position as the Darling family's lawyer, while trying to discover who committed the murder.
The Darlings, the richest family in New York, constantly rely on Nick to solve their problems. Nick struggles to balance his morals and family life while dealing with the demands of the Darlings'. The series is produced by ABC Studios, Bad Hat Harry Productions, Berlanti Television and Gross Entertainment. Wright serves as an executive producer alongside Greg Berlanti, Bryan Singer, Matthew Gross, Peter Horton and Josh Reims, with Melissa Berman producing.
On November 16, 2007, ABC ordered a full 22-episode season for the show, making it the first show to receive a full season order since the WGA writers' strike began on November 5, 2007.
However, in the end, the first season comprised only 10 episodes due to the strike. Dirty Sexy Money: The Complete First Season, a three-disc DVD set including all 10 original episodes and exclusive bonus features including bloopers, audio commentary, deleted scenes, and featurettes, and more, was released on September 16, 2008.The second season premiered on October 1, 2008, ten months after the first season finale. On November 20, 2008, ABC decided not to order any additional episodes for the 2008-2009 TV season.
ABC is in negotiations to bring unaired episodes of Dirty Sexy Money to ABC.com without broadcast rights.However, the Seven Network in Australia has aired all episodes of Season 2 that were unaired in the USA. Also Kanal 5 in Sweden aired the episodes, the last one on March 18, 2009.
Because of its cancellation in the US and low ratings for its first season in the UK there will be no new shows on Channel 4 for the forseeable future. However, Season 2 will commence airing on E4 in a totally new time slot. For Season One it aired Tuesday nights at 9.00pm, whereas for season two it will be airing Sunday nights after Desperate Housewives at 11pm starting on March 8, 2009.

The pilot script, written by creator, executive producer and Emmy-nominated playwright Craig Wright, made its first step towards production when ABC committed to it in July 2006. The project, which is set up at Berlanti Television, is also executive produced by Everwood creator Greg Berlanti, who at the time had recently parted ways with his producing partner, Mickey Liddell. Liddell was replaced by former Sony Pictures Television executive Melissa Berman, who consequently became a producer on the series.
The project was named "Dirty Sexy Money" in January 2007 when it received a pilot order from the network.Staffing began in the same month when Emmy-nominated director, Peter Horton, agreed to direct the first hour of the show.
The series received an early pick-up and a thirteen-episode order prior to the 2007 Upfronts in New York on May 11, 2007.Josh Reims also joined the production crew as an executive producer in the same month.The first season went into production on July 17, 2007.
The James B. Duke House (now home to New York University's Institute of Fine Arts) was the original set for the Darlings' townhouse in the pilot; however, after ABC ordered the first season, several scenes had to be reshot to adjust to the new LA sets that would be used for the rest of the season's production.
It is for this reason that, in the pilot, the interiors of the Darlings' house jump somewhat incongruously from ornate marble and wood (Duke House) to extremely modern and low-ceilinged (LA sets).
