“The Inheritance” (the British drama series starring Gaynor Faye that’s been trending on Netflix) has 4 episodes in its first and only series.

Quick Scoop

  • Total episodes: 4.
  • Format: One series (season) with a complete, closed story arc.
  • Original broadcaster: Channel 5 in the UK, later picked up by Netflix, where it really gained traction in late 2024.
  • Genre: Crime/mystery drama focused on a contested will and a suspicious death in the family.

Why it feels “bingeable”

Because there are only four episodes, each running under an hour, most viewers treat it like a long movie and finish it in one or two sittings. If you’re looking for a short, twisty UK drama rather than a multi‑season commitment, this one fits that niche well.

Bottom line: if you’re planning a weekend binge and googling “the inheritance how many episodes,” you’re looking at just four tightly packed parts.
