I, Jack Wright is a six-part crime drama series commissioned by UKTV for its specialist crime channel, Alibi. Written by Chris Lang (Unforgotten, The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe) and produced by Federation Stories, the show offers a gripping blend of murder mystery, family drama, and dark comedy. It explores themes of betrayal, greed, and hidden secrets within a wealthy family.

When the contents of Jack's final will are revealed, his third wife Sally (played by Nikki Amuka-Bird) and his two sons Gray (John Simm) and John (Daniel Rigby) are shocked to learn they have been largely excluded from his vast fortune. As detectives DCI Morgan and DC Jones investigate further, they uncover that Jack's death was not a suicide but murder.
