Gold Digger is a six-part drama miniseries created and written by Marnie Dickens and starring Julia Ormond and Ben Barnes broadcast weekly from Tuesday 12 November 2019 on BBC One.

Production
It was announced in August 2018 that Julia Ormond would be starring in the six part miniseries, commissioned by the BBC. The first three episodes of the series were directed by Vanessa Caswill.[2] Ben Barnes was cast later that month.[3] The supporting cast, including Alex Jennings, Jemima Rooper and Sebastian Armesto, was added as filming began between Devon and London.[4] Filming commenced in September 2018.[5]
Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the show holds an approval rating of 57%. The critical consensus reads: "Visually gorgeous and thematically ambitious, but ultimately void of cohesion, Gold Digger bites off more than it can chew."[6]
Lucy Mangan of The Guardian, however called the show "a bold and hugely entertaining attempt by writer Marnie Dickens."[7]
Adaptations
An Italian adaptation for Netflix called Inganno has been announced, which will star the popular Grey's Anatomy actor Giacomo Gianniotti and be directed by Pappi Corsicato under the production of the Cattleya company. Filming begins at the beginning of April and its premiere is expected for 2024 as an original Netflix series.[8]
