Poldark and Harry Potter favourites star in first look at all-new gripping, psychological drama

5 has given fans a first look at new series The Fortune, starring Eleanor Tomlinson and Matthew Lewis. 

The series, which is yet to receive an official release date, has been billed as a "gripping psychological drama" about family and past secrets.

    Tomlinson (Poldark) stars as Amanda Blakefield, a woman who’s stunned to realise she’s been left an enormous inheritance by a man she has neither met nor heard of before.

    As Amanda becomes embroiled in the world of the mysterious Worrall family, she’s soon drawn further and further into past events and relationships – and all of their lives are turned upside down. 

    Lewis (Harry Potter) also stars as Amanda’s husband, Jimmy, while newcomer James Younger plays her son Luke, and Denis Lawson (New Tricks) appears as The Worrall patriarch, Martin.

    Additional cast includes Rebecca Front (The Thick of It) as Martin’s wife Fiona, and Callum Woodhouse (All Creatures Great and Small) as his son Anthony.

    Stephen Tompkinson (DCI Banks) is also set to star as farm worker Boots Maddison, Paula Wilcox (Trying) as Amanda’s mother Linda, Danielle Walters (Chewing Gum) as Amanda’s best friend Sandy, and Nina Wadia (EastEnders) as solicitor Laura.

    It's been written by Aschlin Ditta, who previously penned 5's 2023 drama The Inheritance, starring Robert James-Collier and Larry Lamb.

    On directing duties is Andy de Emmony, who has previously worked on Vigil, The Nest and The Larkins.

    Tomlinson, who has previously starred in The Outlaws and One Day, was most recently seen in another 5 drama – last year's Forsyte Saga reimagining The Forsytes, where she played Louisa Byrne.

    Meanwhile, Lewis played the lead role Canon Daniel Clement in last year's TV adaptation of Richard Coles's Murder Before Evensong, which initially aired on Acorn TV before arriving on 5.
