Wild Cherry: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Meet Lorna, a self-made, successful black businesswoman from South London who has worked hard to be where she is – and best friend Juliet, a woman born into the privileged gated community they both call home. Daughters Grace and Allegra are BFFs and live a life other teenagers can only dream of. A safe haven for the super-rich and their little darlings, Richford Estate is a place where bad things never happen…

Until, that is, Grace and Allegra are implicated in a shocking scandal at their exclusive private school and Juliet and Lorna are forced to take sides, pushing their friendship to breaking point. As toxic secrets and lies ripple through the idyllic town, cracks within the community threaten to reveal the elitist ugliness and betrayal beneath.
