You can tune in to the unmissable show from anywhere in the world
Channel 5 has become one of the top go-to destinations for gripping and unmissable drama. From The Hardacres and Under Suspicion: Kate McCann, to Number One Fan, there's definitely something for everyone.
The channel's latest offering, The Fortune, is no different. Starting on June 2 at 9pm, the four-part show is packed with stars including Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark,) Matthew Lewis (Harry Potter) and Stephen Tompkinson (DCI Banks.)
Eleanor Tomlinson is Amanda Blakefield, a woman who is happily married to husband Jimmy (Matthew Lewis) and mum to their young son Luke (James Younger.)
Amanda's life is turned upside down when she's left a huge sum of money by a man she has neither met nor heard of before. Her world descends into being unrecognisable as the inheritance sees her become embroiled in the world of The Worrall Family who are bound by secrets.
Full of twists and turns, the drama forces Amanda and others to question what happens when their past isn't what they think it is... If this sounds like it's for you, there's no need to miss out on The Fortune, as you can tune in from anywhere in the world.
