FIRST LOOK: Eleanor Tomlinson, Matthew Lewis and James Younger head the cast of The Fortune, a psychological drama coming soon to 5 in the UK.

Tomlinson (One Day, Poldark) stars as Amanda Blakefield, whose life is a happy one with her husband Jimmy (Harry Potter’s Lewis) and their son Luke (newcomer Younger).

Lesley Douglas will produce for Lonesome Pine, alongside Ellie Hill. Executive producers for Sphere Abacus are Jonathan Ford and Will Stapley.
