deadline.comSky has greenlit a new five-part series titled Inheritance from writer-actor Karla Crome and BAFTA-nominee Gugu Mbatha-Raw has been cast as one of the leads.
The limited “event series,” as Sky has described it, begins filming in the UK and Jamaica this month. Jonny Lee Miller (Covenant), Sheldon Shepherd (Better Must Come), and Bel Powley (A Small Light) will also star with Storm Saulter (Better Mus’ Come, Sprinter) directing.
