Brand new series comes from the makers of The Traitors.
Channel 4 is to launch their own version of ‘The Traitors’, a devious competition series called ‘The Inheritance’.
The official synopsis reads: “Twelve strangers arrive at a grand English country estate, lured by one irresistible opportunity: to inherit a chunk of a vast fortune. The fortune belonged to a glamorous benefactor known only as The Deceased who has left video messages for the players from beyond the grave.
To release money from The Inheritance, players must work as a team to complete a series of challenges. The better they perform; the more money is released. But The Deceased had a wicked sense of humour and one ruthless condition: to win the game they must persuade all others that only they should be entrusted with the money.
It’s a game of wit, willpower, persuasion, and betrayal, where it’s not about who deserves the money, but who’s willing to outplay, out-charm, and out-scheme the competition to claim it”.
Steve Handley, Channel 4’s Head of Reality & Entertainment, said: “The Inheritance isn’t just a battle of strategy, alliances, and inevitable betrayals – it’s a cocktail of drama, jeopardy, and outright mischief that Reality fans love. I can’t wait to see how our players handle the challenges, the twists, and a few sneaky surprises.”
Tim Harcourt, Studio Lambert’s Chief Creative Officer, said: “We often work together in life and yet some team-members seem to get so much more than others. This incredible game – part Knives Out, part Succession – can finally show us why this happens… and what better way to explore the notions of fairness and entitlement than through the delicious prism of a fight over a will.”
The series will air later this year.
