What is the plot of The Split Up?

The upcoming six-part series has a new writer, Ursula Rani Sarma (Smother, Delicious), who has moved the action to Manchester. The series will centre on Kishan Law, a British-Asian high-net-worth family law firm, which is the go-to destination for people after excellence, integrity and discretion. However, behind closed doors things aren’t quite as glossy, and a hidden family secret threatens to derail proceedings.

“I was honoured to be asked to create The Split Up, a spin-off which introduces a whole new family and city while still holding on to the warmth, humour and heartbreak of Abi Morgan’s original series,” says Rani.

“To be able to place a contemporary British-Asian family, helmed by brilliant women, at the heart of a primetime drama series is a dream come true for me as a writer who believes strongly in the importance of representation on our screens.”
