Premise and characters
The series follows two sisters, Sarah and Marian, who are hustling to make ends meet until an inheritance places them in a world of extreme wealth and its dark underbelly.2 • 5 FX's logline describes "a pair of scrappy sisters thrust by an unexpected inheritance into a world of generational wealth and long-buried crimes."1
Sarah, played by Kiera Allen, is described in production materials as a sharp-witted and street-smart young woman in her 20s who uses a wheelchair and navigates life's complexities with charisma and resilience.3 Allen broke through in the 2020 thriller Run and has since appeared in The Good Doctor and Watson.6 Pedretti, who plays Marian, is known for The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and playing Love Quinn in You.6
Production
FX ordered the pilot in June 2025, with Gould writing, directing, and executive producing.7 The pilot was scheduled to shoot in October 2025 in New York, NY and Jersey City, NJ, and had finished principal photography by April 2026, when the project was listed as in post-production.3 In March 2026, FX picked the project up to series, ordering a first batch of episodes; no episode count or premiere date was confirmed at that time.7
The series is produced by FX Productions, with Gould as showrunner and executive producer alongside Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, and Nena Rodrigue of T-Street, the production company Johnson and Bergman founded in 2019.1 • 8 Casting directors are Sherry Thomas, Russell Scott, and Sharon Bialy of Bialy / Thomas Casting.3
Cast
The pilot cast includes Karl Glusman, Alan Ruck, Katja Herbers, Eddie Marsan, and Jonathan Higginbotham in supporting roles.1 Trade reporting adds character detail: Ruck plays the attorney handling the estate and Glusman plays a paralegal helping the sisters through it.6 In April 2026, Avi Nash, known for playing Lukas in Apple TV's Silo, joined the series as a series regular alongside the previously announced cast.9
Release
German television listings give an original premiere of 2027 on FX, with international streaming premiere on Hulu the same year; the series will air on the FX linear channel and on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the United States, and on Disney+ internationally.4 • 10 An unofficial Hulu tracking listing reported that season 1 had been scheduled for around October 2026 but was delayed, with the release date unconfirmed.11
Context in Gould's career
Disinherited is Gould's first series as creator since Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad prequel he co-created with Vince Gilligan, ran for its first two seasons under the two of them before Gould became sole showrunner for the remainder of its run.1 Before that he was a writer and producer on Breaking Bad, where he made his television directorial debut in season 4, and his other credits include writing the HBO film Too Big to Fail.1 FX Entertainment president Gina Balian described the show as "a deeply human story about family, power and consequence, that plays with high moral stakes," centered on a David vs. Goliath dynamic between the sisters and the world they enter.1
