I'd do a Succession meets Dallas type of show. A mega super rich 90 year old business man dies. He ran the biggest company in town. The 3 oldest of his kids have all worked for him. The rest have been slackers & playboys. It's time for the will to be read. In walks two more people. Turns out daddy had two more children the others didn't know of. And on top of that, every one of his now 8 greedy children inherits 12,5% each of the company. The hated business rival is joyous as chaos erupts.
