Each series of The Syndicate is a standalone story following a different lottery-winning ‘syndicate’.
The first series aired in 2012, with the second airing a year later. The most recent, series three, was on screens in 2015.
Earlier this week, the BBC shared a teaser trailer.

What will happen in the new series?
Writer Kay Mellor has spoken about the plot of the new series.
She told the BBC: “The new series of The Syndicate is a totally fresh story set between Yorkshire and Monaco. It’s the story of a group of young kennel workers who win the lottery.
It’s a massive rollercoaster of emotions. You should be reaching for your tissues.
“They think they’ve won £500 to start with, which they’re delighted with, but it then becomes apparent they might have won quite a bit more than that.
“The syndicate try to track down the shopkeeper who sold them the lottery ticket – and is now in Monaco – to find out what’s gone wrong and why. It’s a cat-and-mouse chase and nothing is as it seems.”
What have the cast said?
Star Neil Morrissey, who plays a character called Frank, said of the new series: “It’s a massive rollercoaster of emotions. You should be reaching for your tissues, not only to blow your nose after you’ve laughed your face off, but also with some of the terrible tragedy.

Joining them are Taj Atwal, Emily Head, Gaynor Faye, Kym Marsh, Ruben Reuter, Joe Sugg and Katie McGlynn.
