New Channel 5 thriller series The Inheritance features a recognisable cast that includes soap stars, period drama veterans and a presenter turned TV actor.

The series follows three adult siblings, Daniel, Sian, and Chloe, who are left stunned by the death of their father, Dennis, and are shocked further when they learn that he didn’t leave either of them anything in his will.

Instead, Dennis had secretly changed his will, leaving his estate to a mystery woman. The bereft siblings are mortified to learn that not only is all of their father’s money going to this woman, known to them only as Susan, but that she will inherit their family home as well.

But as more dark truths about their father’s life comes to light, the siblings begin to suspect that this woman, who stands to gain so much  from their father’s death, may have had a hand in his demise.

The siblings all have their own reasons for needing the money they think they are due, from debt to the pressure of raising a child as a single parent, and all three of them want to prevent Susan from collecting her claim.
