Deadly inheritance

A family fights over a millionaire’s will in an all-star thriller

- ALISON SLADE, VICTORIA WILSON

The popularity of dramas like Succession and Yellowstone suggests that we can't get enough of watching wealthy dysfunctional families at each other's throats. This week, U&Alibi's all-star mystery thriller I, Jack Wright features another super-rich clan that is torn apart by rivalry and greed.

Written by Chris Lang (Unforgotten), the six-parter begins with the apparent suicide of millionaire Jack Wright (Trevor Eve). Married to third wife Sally (Nikki Amuka-Bird), Jack had two sons from his first marriage, Gray (John Simm) and John (Daniel Rigby).

At the reading of Jack's will, however, most of the family is stunned to learn that they've inherited almost nothing. And the mystery deepens when DCI Hector Morgan (Harry Lloyd) unearths evidence to suggest that Jack didn't take his own life but was murdered.

Here, Simm, 54, and Amuka-Bird, 49, tell us more...
