CrimeDrama29 min per episode

In 19th-century England, the never-ending Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce case entangles the generous John Jarndyce, his young wards Richard and Ada, and the distant Lady Dedlock in an inheritance battle that may never be resolved. Anna Maxwell Martin leads the ensemble, with Gillian Anderson tied to the story’s most closely guarded past. As the lawyer Tulkinghorn digs deeper into Lady Dedlock’s history, the legal stalemate widens into a web of family secrets, social rank, and lives shaped by a court system that keeps everyone waiting.
