When a big-name tycoon is found dead under suspicious circumstances, it looks like we’re in for a classic whodunnit. But things change quickly. By the end of episode one of I, Jack Wright, the show has expanded into an explosive family feud involving a legal battle, as Jack Wright’s will is read, revealing that key family members have been frozen out.

The family drama follows the Wright family, who are thrown into disarray after learning of their family patriarch and business tycoon Jack Wright’s (Trevor Eve, Waking the Dead) untimely suicide. When his last will and testament is revealed, Nikki Amuka-Bird enters the narrative as Jack’s third-wife Sally, alongside his two sons Gray (Simm) and John (Rigby). All three of them have been largely cut-out of the will and won’t be receiving much of Jack’s enormous fortune.
