I, Jack Wright is BBC's gripping murder mystery drama filmed across a range of UK locations

Nikki-Amuka Bird, John Simm, Daniel Rigby, Ruby Ashbourne-Serkis, and Zoë Tapper are amongst the stellar cast in the BBC's latest drama, I, Jack Wright.

The gripping whodunit is a six-part series penned by Chris Lang, the acclaimed writer behind Unforgotten, Innocent, The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe, which made its debut in April 2025 on U&Alibi.

The murder mystery has since been snapped up by the BBC, meaning not only will the first series be reshown on the channel, but they've also secured series two, which is currently in production.

I, Jack Wright has been hailed as a "propulsive whodunnit" with family secrets firmly at its heart.

A synopsis reads: "The apparent death by suicide of high-powered businessman Jack Wright sends shockwaves through his family, leaving a mystery that pits greed, loyalty and suspicion against one another."

"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."

The drama was largely filmed in and around Greater London, with the principal family residence of Marston House shot at the Mansion House in North Mymms Park, reports Wales Online.

Further Hertfordshire locations include Bovingdon Airfield and Gadebridge Park in Hemel Hempstead, while scenes were also captured in Hackney and Russell Square. Aylesbury Crown Court and Old Deer Park in Richmond also featured throughout.

Numerous powerful scenes, however, were filmed at the studio, including the reading of Jack's will at the conclusion of episode one, which kickstarts the entire series.

Writer Chris Lang explained: "I always knew it had to come at the end of episode one because it brings all the key characters together and marks the point where the main story begins. In that scene, our key characters are sitting around a table, waiting to be told their fate."

He added: "It's a highly stylised scene that uses a range of visual devices, including freeze frames, voiceovers and flash-forwards.

"The sequence is complex because it reveals the characters' psychology from multiple perspectives, showing how they feel in the moment and how those feelings evolve two years later. It allows the audience to examine the impact of the revelation in a forensic way.

"Ultimately, that's what the series is about: understanding the psychology of people raised within a family led by a deeply toxic man."

I, Jack Wright, starts on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Sunday, July 12 at 9:15pm.
