THE INHERITANCE: ROB RINDER AND ELIZABETH HURLEY TO FRONT NEW CHANNEL 4 REALITY SERIES

Set to air later this year, The Inheritance is a new immersive and mischievous 12-part reality competition series made by Studio Lambert for Channel 4 and Channel 4 Streaming, with GroupM Motion Entertainment.

Thirteen strangers are summoned to a grand stately home. They are there to compete for part of the fortune left in the will of The Deceased, a fabulously glamourous benefactor played by Elizabeth Hurley.

But winning the money won’t be easy. The Deceased had a wicked sense of humour and has designed a mischievous game to ensure only the best players can get their hands on her inheritance. 

Overseeing the stipulations of The Deceased’s will is her Executor and trusted legal counsel, Robert Rinder. The lucky thirteen must work as a team to complete The Deceased’s final requests, a series of devilishly difficult assignments that will demand they are clever, collaborative and cunning.  

The Deceased’s game has a delicious twist: only one player can claim the money gained in each request, so it’s up to one of them to persuade the others that they alone deserve the cash they earnt together.

The Inheritance is a game of wit, willpower, persuasion and betrayal, where it’s not about who deserves the money, but who is willing to outplay, out-charm and out-scheme the competition to claim it. It is camp, cut-throat and completely gripping.

Elizabeth Hurley said: “It’s a thrill to be part of this clever game, playing The Deceased; it all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside and she dresses to the nines in every scene. Tune in this Autumn to catch The Inheritance on Channel 4.”

Rob Rinder said: “This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage. As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check - more or less - and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased, played by the iconic Elizabeth Hurley.”

The Inheritance is a 12-episode series produced by Studio Lambert, part of All3Media with GroupM Motion Entertainment.
