- The six‑episode series was created by Chris Lang and directed by Tom Vaughan and follows the contested death of industrialist Jack Wright that triggers family feuds, legal moves and a police whodunnit.
- The corporation acquired the show after its April 2025 launch on U&Alibi and has reportedly secured a second series that is currently in production.
- The ensemble cast includes Nikki Amuka‑Bird, John Simm, Trevor Eve, Gemma Jones, Harry Lloyd and Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, and filming locations included London, Paris and Hertfordshire.
