Take a first look at the teaser for the upcoming Sky Original supernatural thriller, Possession. Gugu Mbatha-Raw leads the cast.
Sky has released a first look teaser for the five-part limited event series Possession, formerly known as Inheritance. Created and written by Karla Crome (Something Very Bad is Going to Happen) and directed by Storm Saulter (Better Mus’ Come, Sprinter), the supernatural thriller is set between Bristol and Jamaica and stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Loki, Surface), Jonny Lee Miller (The Crown, Elementary), Sheldon Shepherd (Bob Marley: One Love, Better Mus’ Come) and Bel Powley (A Small Light, The Morning Show).
THE PREMISE
Claudia (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), an ambitious young bi‑racial lawyer, travels to Jamaica to challenge an inheritance claim made by a local man, Cudjoe East (Sheldon Shepherd), against Oliver Connaught (Jonny Lee Miller), a wealthy white aristocrat. But the case takes an unsettling turn when Claudia discovers that the disputed estate is the very place that has haunted her nightmares: Hope Hill, the Connaught family’s former plantation.
As Claudia and Oliver dig deeper, they uncover a disturbing link between the plantation’s brutal past and the injustices still shaping the present.
Possession is a gripping supernatural thriller that blends eerie mystery with the vibrant energy of Jamaica, following one woman’s journey into long-buried secrets, identity, and the past’s enduring hold on the present.
