Respecting our Elders: Where’s that gotten us?

Inheritance is a cheeky and stylish comedy adventure for teens, set in a world that is crumbling at the edges. Berberis, an outcast farmgirl, and Celan, the headstrong scion of a forgotten dynasty, chase a stupid idea into the heart of corruption.

Their adventure will force them to re-assess their birthrights, and accept that the old world must die, and it’s their job to make that happen.

Luminous youth in a rusty world

The first season of Inheritance comprises 8x30 minute episodes covering the meeting and subsequent even worse luck of our two heroes: Celan, an obsessive chancer with dollar signs in his eyes, and Berberis, who reckons politics doesn’t affect her. Spoiler: the season climax will disavow her of that misapprehension.

Meanwhile, the world dries and cracks around them, robbed of its very life force by a king who can’t let go of the past, and his chief-of-staff, a robot-shaped disappointment of a woman whose idealism has gradually been colonised by murderous pragmatism and black depression. Oh yeah; also it’s a comedy.

Inheritance will delight audiences 10-adult. For a full pitch bible including more detail about the characters and story of Inheritance, reach out to us using the contact form.
