The series map

Six to eight episodes. One archive. One rights holder. Built so a scout can hold the shape without reading the sealed file.

Limited series

The Hitz Inheritance is developed as a six-to-eight-episode limited series from a completed memoir manuscript and a family archive of about 144 original documents from 1965 and 1966. A completed pilot script exists. Life rights sit with one rights holder. This page is the public series map: structure and world only. The sealed file and full pilot stay under professional request.

Format

Prestige limited series. Period: mid-century Washington, Caracas, Zurich. Tone reference (not attachment): The Crown meets Fargo, real and darker. International co-production ready (US / Switzerland / Venezuela settings).

Why it is not a procedural

The person was found within days of the Washington Post front page. The open file is the fortune, the empty grave, the disputed will, and sixty years of silence. Episodes can move document by document across cities and languages.
