The One Percent is an upcoming American television drama series created and written by Alejandro González Iñárritu, Alexander Dinelaris Jr., Nicolás Giacobone and Armando Bó. The quartet, who also collaborated on Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), will serve as executive producers.
The pilot centers around Alfred, a weak-willed 40-year-old in a twenty year marriage with two kids. His dreams of working in the big city were crushed when he starts working at his father-in-law's organic farm. The farm comes under financial hardship which is conflicting – Alfred wants to leave but it is his only source of income. Alfred ultimately wins the lottery and has the opportunity to save the farm. But what will he choose to do with the money when his father-in-law continues to berate Alfred and his wife is filing for divorce?
Iñárritu will direct the first two episodes and set the visual style of the show. A 10-episode first season has been ordered by the American premium cable network Starz. In March 2017, Starz pulled out of its commitment after multiple delays.
