Adulthood isn't always easy, with juggling work, finances, fitness goals, and a social life. It's no wonder that so many of us feel overwhelmed at the mere thought of what to cook for dinner each night or, worse, what to watch while eating said dinner.
Luckily for you, we're pretty clued up when it comes to all the best TV series to have on your radar, whether that's a new true crime series on Netflix or the return of a beloved comedy fave on Apple TV. But great TV doesn't necessarily mean new TV. Take I, Jack Wright, for example – it was released in the US in 2025 but somehow didn't get all the attention it really deserved. Until now, of course.
Here's everything to know about I, Jack Wright, including how to stream it for free in the UK...
What is I, Jack Wright about?
I, Jack Wright is a six-part thriller from writer, creator, and executive producer Chris Lang, who also worked on the likes of Unforgotten and Innocent, to name a few. It follows the fallout of, you guessed it, Jack Wright's shocking death.
"The apparent death by suicide of high-powered businessman Jack Wright sends shockwaves through his family," the show's synopsis reads. "As his many wives and children fight over the remains of his estate, a dogged police detective investigates – and uncovers the shocking truth about this well-heeled clan."
"Set in motion by a minted mogul’s last will and testament, this gripping family thriller is half-whodunnit, half-soapy dynastic drama," said The Telegraph's Michael Hogan. "A homespun Succession with a dab of Dallas and an Agatha Christie-esque mystery at its heart."
"This was great. Packed with plot twists, the show entails the reading of a will, a family with secrets, money (lots of it) and murder," someone else said after watching the show. "Binge-watched and enjoyed every minute of it. Looking forward to the next instalment."
Who is in I, Jack Wright?
I, Jack Wright features a stellar cast line-up with faces you'll no doubt recognise. As well as coming from the clever mind of Chris Lang, it stars actors including Nikki Amuka Bird (Knock at the Cabin, Persuasion, Old) and John Simm (Grace, Life on Mars). Here's the full cast line-up...
- Nikki Amuka Bird as Sally Wright (a wealthy, successful lawyer and mother who is the third wife of Jack Wright)
- Trevor Eve as Jack Wright (a born-and-bred Yorkshireman turned multimillionaire patriarch)
- John Simm as Gray Wright (a washed-up 90s musician and the eldest son of Jack Wright)
- Gemma Jones as Rose Wright (a now-elderly woman, who was Jack Wright's first wife)
- Daniel Rigby as John Wright (the second son of Jack Wright, who is first in line to take over the hugely successful family business)
- Ruby Ashbourne Serkis as Emily Wright (Gray's daughter and the sole grandchild of the Wright family, who has been living in California in recent years)
Where can I watch I, Jack Wright?
As mentioned, I, Jack Wright was released in the US last year, but it's finally found its way over the pond. You can now stream all six episodes of I, Jack Wright on BBC iPlayer for free.
