Producer Danny Boyle and creator Simon Beaufoy say the original plan was to go five seasons, to go beyond the kidnapping story of John Paul Getty III. "Then they rationalized it — and intensified it — down to three," says Boyle of the FX drama series. Beaufoy adds: "There's so much to say and do about three generations of Gettys. Like, where it all started with this story of a man who came to be obsessed with money — what happened in his childhood that made him so obsessed with money?"
