The Fortune cast: Who stars alongside Eleanor Tomlinson?

by

A new psychological thriller, ‘The Fortune,’ is coming to Channel 5, and it features a cast of well-known actors.

This new four-episode series is written by Aschlin Ditta, who also worked on ‘The Inheritance’. It stars Eleanor Tomlinson, known for ‘Poldark’, Matthew Lewis from ‘Harry Potter’, and Callum Woodhouse of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’.

In a recent interview with TopMob, actress Tomlinson discussed her role in the series, explaining that she hadn’t played a character quite like this one before, which was a major draw for her. She described her character, Amanda, as someone who is always trying to understand what’s happening and who deeply cares for her family.

As a movie fan, what really struck me about this character is how deeply frustrated she gets whenever she seeks the truth. It’s clear she’s carrying a lot of sadness, but underneath it all, she’s driven by a fierce love for her family and a desperate need to understand what happened.

Who else appears in the show? Here’s a complete guide to the cast of 5’s new series, The Fortune.
