The Inheritance (TV series)

2023

The Inheritance (2023) is a four-part British drama television series, first broadcast in the UK on Channel 5. Three siblings are left reeling after an unexpected death in the family. When father-of-three Dennis (Larry Lamb) dies unexpectedly, his adult children are left bereft. But their grief is quickly overshadowed by anger, confusion and suspicion when they learn that he recently changed his will and they won’t be receiving any part of his estate. (Spoiler alert: the storyline features a homicidal character who was in foster care.) They embark on a journey to figure out whether this death was truly a tragic accident, or whether it was murder. Also features a foster care stereotype. See Dr. Rosie Canning's review: https://careleaversinfiction.wordpress.com/2024/10/22/not-another-one/

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
