Elizabeth Hurley buried in a coffin in teaser for new reality show on Channel 4
In a new clip Hurley, 60, is seen lying in her grave surrounded by mourners and items of value, as she says: 'I'm dying to see what happens.'
Overseeing the stipulations of the Deceased's will is her executor, Robert Rinder, a criminal barrister who fronted the ITV show Judge Rinder.
To win the money the players need to fulfil a series of final requests, as stipulated in the Deceased's will.
However, only one player can claim the money gained in each request, so it's up to one of them to persuade the others that they alone deserve the cash they earned together.
Hurley is most known on the big screen for playing Vanessa Kensington in the Austin Powers films and has also starred in 2000's Bedazzled and TV series Gossip Girl.
The Inheritance is a 12-episode series co-produced by Studio Lambert and GroupM Motion Entertainment.
Transmission details are yet to be announced.

I'm A Celebrity star has 'a lifetime of medication' ahead as he shares tumour update
Singer and former I'm A Celebrity star Russell Watson has shared an update on his health in a candid Good Morning Britain chat after undergoing surgery for two brain tumours I'm A Me Out of Here! alumni Russell Watson has shared a health update after battling two brain tumours. The singer, who competed on the 2020 series of I'm A Celeb, appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain today to chat about his honorary doctorate from the University of Greater Manchester. The star was given the degree at a ceremony for students from the School of Health, Science and Society, during which he shared how his health battles had "graphically highlighted" to him the "amazing job done by staff in our NHS". Russell, 58, was diagnosed with his first brain tumour in 2005 after experiencing headaches and underwent brain surgery for a benign brain tumour. A second brain tumour was found in 2007 after an MRI scan showed it had regrown and caused bleeding into his brain. The singer required emergency surgery and underwent extensive radiotherapy afterwards. When asked by presenter Charlotte Hawkins about his health on today's programme, Russell said: "It's good. It's very good. I feel good, I feel strong." He added: "I'll be on a lifetime of medication - that's one of the by products of what happened to me. But I'm just happy to be here. I have a wonderful life, I'm very very lucky. I've been 25 years in the industry. Having lasted this long is a great thing." Earlier this year, Russell shared the chilling words he received from doctors shortly after being diagnosed with his second brain tumour. He told The Guardian: "After surgery, I was told that, even healthy and fit, I would no longer perform like my younger self – something that I refused to accept. "I may not be the wagging-tailed puppy-dog any more, but my voice is in the best shape it's been in, and I think I look in pretty good shape as well. My life has been this cacophony of incredible highs and disastrous lows, but it's made me the person I am today." According to the NHS, those suffering with a brain tumour can have a number of different symptoms depending on where in the brain the tumour is found. Common symptoms include headaches, seizures, persistently feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting) and drowsiness.
