Helen Black has created six-part mystery drama The Wives for Channel 5, produced by Gaumont UK, in association with Banijay Rights.
The Wives follows the unravelling of one family in a summer that changes everything.
Last year, four sisters-in-law and their families escaped to their Maltese holiday apartments, as they have done every summer for fifteen years. Sylvie was happily married, Natasha was swimming in wealth, and Beth and Annabelle were thick as thieves. But this year, everything is different. Sylvie is now single and loving life, Natasha is hiding a desperate financial situation, Beth is barely keeping her life together and Annabelle is dead.
Starring Jo Joyner, Angela Griffin, Tamzin Outhwaite, Christine Bottomley, Jamie Bamber, Katie Clarkson-Hill, Ben Willbond, Jonathan Forbes, Catriona Chandler, Louis Boyer and Ajay Chhabra.
The Wives is written by Helen Black (Time S2, Life and Death in the Warehouse), Ciara Conway (Screw, Holby City) and Jamie Jackson.
The Wives will be coming this autumn to Channel 5 and My5.
Helen Black and Ciara Conway are represented by Frances Arnold.
