The BBC has unveiled a new trailer for The Split Up, the hotly anticipated spin–off of The Split – and it looks set to be as engrossing as the original series.
The six-part legal drama, which is coming to our screens later this month, relocates the action to Manchester and focuses on Kishan Law – a powerhouse British South-Asian family firm.
Taking centre stage is the firm’s fast-rising star Aria Kishan (The Umbrella Academy's Ritu Arya), who’s poised to take the mantle from her father Druv (Unforgotten's Sanjeev Bhaskar) – that is, until the death of her mother casts new light over succession plans for the family.
"So you really don't think I could do this alone," Aria asks Druv in the new trailer, to which he responds: "There's not many people who could."
The footage also gives us a glimpse at complications in Aria's personal life, as she grows closer to an old contact and the firm's new senior associate, Luke (Those About To Die's Dimitri Leonidas) – much to the dismay of her current partner Neal (Dinosaur's Danny Ahok).

Rounding out the cast are Mawaan Rizwan (Juice), Sindhu Vee (Matilda the Musical), Shalini Peiris (The White Lotus) and Tom Forbes (Queenie).
Kaamil Shah, one of the writers on the show, previously teased that fans can expect “heart-stopping moments” from the new drama.
Speaking to Radio Times during a Pass the Mic interview, he said: "I think it's really sexy. I'm really proud to be working on a show that's genuinely got heart-stopping moments of British Asians being messy, having relationship dramas, affairs and all of these fun things. So I'm really excited to be working on that."
