PREVIEW

Elizabeth Hurley and Robert Rinder to star in new reality series The Inheritance. The actress will play "a glamorous and mysterious benefactor" known only as The Deceased, who has left behind a vast fortune and a "highly unusual will”.Thirteen strangers are summoned to her grand country estate and they must complete her final requests to get their hands on her inheritance. ”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.” Barrister and TV personality Rinder will act as the executor of The Deceased's will and supervise the contestants as they compete for the money. ”This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage," he added. ”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 contestants must work as a team to carry out the "devilishly difficult assignments” but only one player can claim the money for each request, so they have to persuade the others that they deserve the cash. ”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.” The Inheritance, which consists of 12 episodes, will air on Channel 4 later this year.
