Richcreek will portray the beautiful and aggressively confident Rihanna. Always up on the latest trends, she has a bitchy streak that hasn't escaped the attention of Pow! Marketing president Thomas Wade. Convinced she should be promoted, but disinclined to actually work hard, Rihanna always has a snarky riposte to Heather's remark and tries to spin every moment in her own favor.
Savant will play Thomas, a widower who operates with a brusque manner and a trademark scowl. Thomas is all business, intimidating and direct, and has raised his son Ashton to take over the company.
Levy and Rothbard will pen the pilot, which was picked up in August.
Richcreek is repped by Sutton, Barth & Vennari and Schumacher Management. Savant is repped by Paradigm and Lieberman-Zerman Management.
