THE INHERITANCE: CHANNEL 4 ANNOUNCES NEW REALITY SERIES FROM STUDIO LAMBERT
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.
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.
The Inheritance is a wickedly immersive reality competition filled with drama, mind games and mischief from the team behind The Traitors UK and Squid Game: The Challenge, with GroupM Motion Entertainment.
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’.”
Martin Oxley, Head of Formats & Entertainment (UK) and Executive Producer for GroupM Motion Entertainment comments: “With The Inheritance, the team at Studio Lambert have devised a truly ingenious new reality game. Its stunning backdrop will ring bells for fans of noble stories and stately settings, and alarm bells for those who have had the misfortune of dividing up a family estate. We can’t wait to see who can turn the key and unlock their own small fortune from the deceased’s vast wealth”.
The Inheritance is a 12-episode series produced by Studio Lambert, part of All3Media with GroupM Motion Entertainment.
