I, Jack Wright, an upcoming crime drama written by Unforgotten creator Chris Lang, has released a set of first-look photos ahead of its release next year.
The new series promises to provide viewers with "many twists and turns" after the titular character, who is a powerful businessman, leaves his family in "disarray when they learn of his suicide."
When Jack's final will and testament is relayed to his third wife and two sons, the family are shocked to discover that they have been largely cut out of his "enormous fortune".
