Overview

• The series premieres Sunday, Aug. 31 at 9pm on Channel 4 and spans 12 episodes.
• Elizabeth Hurley plays The Deceased, a theatrical benefactor, while Robert Rinder enforces her will as The Executor.
• Contestants collaborate on challenges yet must persuade the group to award each round’s pot to a single beneficiary.
• Early tasks include diving for wine to create the Deceased’s signature rosé, blending physical and theatrical elements.
• The diverse cast includes everyday Britons such as ex-police sergeant Catherine, professional gamer Zara and chess teacher Pat, with filming at private stately homes in Dorset and Hampshire, and Rinder says the show underlines the importance of having a will.
