Channel 4 has commissioned a new reality show called The Inheritance from the team behind mega-hit The Traitors.
The format sees 12 strangers arrive at an English country estate hoping to "inherit" a wad of cash from someone known only as The Deceased, who has left a series of video messages for the players.
The contestants must work together in tasks to release money from The Inheritance but also have to play an individual game, convincing the others that only they should be entrusted with the money.
"The Inheritance isn't just a battle of strategy, alliances, and inevitable betrayals - it's a cocktail of drama, jeopardy, and outright mischief that reality fans love," said Steve Handley, C4's head of reality.
"I can't wait to see how our players handle the challenges, the twists, and a few sneaky surprises."
Tim Harcourt, chief creative officer at producers Studio Lambert, added: "We often work together in life and yet some team-members seem to get so much more than others.
"This incredible game - part Knives Out, part Succession - can finally show us why this happens... and what better way to explore the notions of fairness and entitlement than through the delicious prism of a fight over a will?"
The transmission date and host for the series have yet to be revealed. body check tags ::
