Studio Lambert's latest outing was The Inheritance, starring Elizabeth Hurley as The Deceased, who summons 13 strangers to her grand stately home in her death.

While there, they must all compete for a chance to take home the fortune left in her will, but in order to do that the contestants have to work together to complete The Deceased's final requests – and there's an added twist.

Rob Rinder acts as The Deceased's executor and trusted legal counsel, who oversees the twist in which one player can collect the money released from the will, but to claim it, they need to convince the others that they alone deserve the cash.

"The stakes are high but it's not just about deception by any stretch of the imagination," Rinder exclusively told RadioTimes.com about the series.

"The core [of it is] a real social experiment. So that idea where it's asking deeper questions about fairness, about what you do when people aren't really looking, about how money can interfere with people's emotional and moral chemistry, and it does so in a way that's never been done on this scale."

2. The Fortune Hotel

You can't trust anyone at The Fortune Hotel...

The Fortune Hotel returned this summer for a second season on ITV, as 11 pairs headed off to the Caribbean for a holiday, except plenty of drama laid ahead.

In the game, the pairs of contestants all compete to win a £250,000 cash prize hidden in a briefcase they are given upon arrival, but only one pair has their hands on the money and must keep that to themselves to avoid someone taking their briefcase from them.

Each night, a briefcase swap ensues, in which one pair is left with the briefcase containing an Early Checkout Card and are swiftly eliminated.

"It's brilliant getting a second series, because you can really lean into the stuff that people at home loved in the first series," Stephen Mangan told RadioTimes.com and other press.

"And there's more of that - more great challenges, more twists and turns, more drama. But also, a second series means that all the contestants have already seen the show.

"It was a brand new show for the first series, no one had seen it, no one knew what to expect. Now they've all come with a game plan, so our job is to keep throwing them curveballs, so they can never relax and they never know what's coming."

3. Destination X

A mix of The Traitors and Race Across the World, Destination X sees a group of contestants set out on a real-life board game as they travel across Europe, but it's not as straightforward as it sounds.

The game kicks off with the players on a blacked-out bus as they travel to a destination around Europe, which is completely unknown to them and the viewers at home. When the bus stops however, the players have no idea where they have gone or ended up before they are given clues to help.

At the end of each episode, the contestants are sent to the Map Room, in which they have to guess their location by placing an X on a map of Europe. The closer their guess is, they stay another day, but the player who guesses the farthest away from the actual location is eliminated.

Throughout the game, some players are given more clues than others, and it's down to them how they share it with the group and if they tell the other plays the truth...

4. Tempting Fortune

Another entry from Channel 4 is Tempting Fortune, a reality game show where 12 strangers embark on a trek that ends with a £300,000 cash prize.

But along the way they'll face a series of temptations designed to entice them into spending the collective prize money on their deepest desires, which could very well rub some contestants up the wrong way.

"We went to a different part of the world this time," Paddy McGuinness exclusively told RadioTimes.com of season 2: "The first series was in South Africa, which brought its own challenges for the people taking part. And rather than the next lot of people sort of thinking they know what to expect, it's totally flipped it on its head and filmed in Langkawi.

"So it was a different set of difficulties and things for them to adapt to there, as well. So I think after the first series went on and everyone really got on board, especially on social media, talking about the different people and what they'd do if they're in that situation – this second lot, it just goes up a level!"

5. The Traitors US

Throughout the game, the players take part in tests and in each round, the players are given access to The Vault, in which they are offered something that benefits them or the whole group. It's the ultimate game of greed!
