Sheldon Shepherd and Bel Powley will also star in the new show about an ambitious young lawyer who embarks on a journey to challenge an inheritance claim filed by a local resident in Jamaica.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw (“Surface”) will star opposite Jonny Lee Miller (“Covenant”), Sheldon Shepherd (“Bob Marley: One Love”) and Bel Powley (“The Morning Show”) in “Inheritance,” a Sky Original thriller from Karla Crome (“Carnival Row”).

Sky 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.

The thriller comes from writer Karla Chrome ( The Stranger, Screw ), based on an original idea by Jefferson Bannis.
