The BBC One drama I, Jack Wright will air its final two episodes on Monday, July 20, after being pulled from Sunday night's schedule to accommodate FIFA World Cup coverage. The penultimate episode airs at 9:15pm, followed by the finale at 10:40pm after the ten o'clock news.
What Happened in the Delay
The six-part family thriller, created by Chris Lang (Unforgotten, Innocent), originally premiered on UandAlibi in April 2025 before being acquired by the BBC. It debuted on BBC One on Sunday, July 12, with double episodes scheduled for Sunday and Monday. However, the World Cup final broadcast from 7pm with kick-off at 8pm forced the schedule change.
Finale Details
The penultimate episode sees DCI Morgan closing in on his prime suspect. In the concluding instalment, Sally faces the wrath of Arnaud, Rose takes a huge risk, and Morgan makes an arrest. The series has been billed as a "propulsive whodunnit" centred on family secrets after the death of influential businessman Jack Wright, whose will sparks a battle among his multiple wives and children.
Cast and Season 2
The cast includes Nikki Amuka-Bird as Sally Wright, John Simm as Gray Wright, Daniel Rigby, Ruby Ashbourne-Serkis, Zoë Tapper, Percelle Ascott, Harry Lloyd as DCI Morgan, and Liz Kingsman. The BBC has acquired a second season, expected to air in 2027, with Amuka-Bird, Simm, Ashbourne-Serkis, Rigby, and Lloyd returning. New cast members Tom Austen (Rematch) and Zora Bishop (Hijack) will join.
