‘Succession’ producer Frank Rich sells NYC home on the heels of the show’s final season

Real Estate

In HBO’s hit show “Succession,” which ended its run this year, glass-tower penthouses and imposing townhouses appear as extensions of the characters’ psyches.

Now, show producer Frank Rich — a former New York Post film critic, and New York Times theater critic and op-ed columnist — has a succession plan of his own.

The Upper West Side co-op that he bought 30 years ago with his wife, New York Times writer Alex Witchel, has sold for $2.95 million, according to property records.

The “classic six,” three-bedroom, three-bath home at 118 Riverside Drive first hit the market for $3.2 million earlier this year.

Rich, produced “Veep” before “Succession.” 

He also had his hand in other shows that never made it out of development, like “The Imperialists,” which he once worked on with “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong, as he told Vanity Fair’s Joe Pompeo over a bagel and cream cheese schmear at Barney Greengrass earlier this year.

The 15th-floor home, by Riverside Park and the Hudson River, opens from a semi-private elevator to a foyer that leads to a sunlit great room and river views. A separate formal dining room is off of a widowed galley kitchen and pantry that also contains a washer/dryer.

Building amenities include a gym, a playroom, deeded storage and bike service.

The listing broker is Julie Gans of Compass.
