Creator Kay Mellor said of the new series: “A brand-new story about a syndicate of low-paid kennel workers who think they’ve won the lottery but have been robbed of their ticket.
“The chase to confront the culprit takes us to the wealthy French Riviera where the young syndicate find themselves well out of their depth.”

Kym quit Corrie after nearly 14 years
She stunned Corrie fans when she confirmed plans to leave. Kym played Michelle Connor for almost 14 years.
She told Best magazine at the time: “It [was] an incredibly difficult decision, but it feels like the right time to explore some other roles.
“But this isn’t the last you’ve heard of Michelle Connor – she’ll be back!”
Since leaving, she has appeared in the stage show version of Elf and presented the true crime documentary Murder at My Door with Kym Marsh.
Kym first found fame in the UK when she was a winner on the first and only series of Popstars in 2001.
A member of the band Hear’Say, they had a number one hit with the single Pure & Simple.
