If you're loving the latest series of Unforgotten, you'll be excited to know that its creator Chris Lang has been working on a new project called I, Jack Wright which has a fantastic cast.
The upcoming drama focuses on an explosive turn of events after the discovery of Jack Wright's (Trevor Eve) body, which is presumed to be a suicide, shakes his family to its core. Long-buried secrets begin to unravel, leaving those closest to him struggling with their grief and unanswered questions.
Shockingly for the family, his third wife, Sally (Nikki Amuka-Bird), and their two sons, Gray (John Simm) and John (Daniel Rigby), have been entirely left out of his will.
However, the plot thickens as detectives delve further into the case; they realise Jack’s cause of death was, in fact, murder.
