With the final Downton Abbey movie released and multiple series viewings under my belt, it’s time for something fresh. While we eagerly await new seasons of Miss Scarlet and All Creatures Great and Small, Masterpiece PBS has a new period drama series on the horizon for the new year: The Forsytes. Based on John Galsworthy’s Nobel Prize-winning novels, The Forsytes delves into the lives of the Forsyte family before the events of the novels take place.
Desire, ambition, and betrayal form the core of the sumptuous costume drama The Forsytes. Written by Debbie Horsfield, known for her work on Poldark, the series follows the wealthy Victorian era stockbroking family as they navigate the delicate balance between tradition and self-sacrifice versus personal happiness and the pursuit of love. Inspired by Galsworthy’s Forsyte Saga novels, the show provides a glimpse into events preceding those covered in the books.
The Forsytes premieres on Sunday, March 22 at 9 p.m. ET on Masterpiece PBS. You can catch it on your local PBS station or stream it through PBS Passport or a Masterpiece PBS subscription on platforms like Prime Video.
The star-studded cast of The Forsytes includes Stephen Moyer, Jack Davenport, Joshua Orpin, Danny Griffin, Tuppence Middleton, Eleanor Tomlinson, Millie Gibson, Francesca Annis, Tom Durant-Pritchard, and Josette Simon.
The lavish reimagining of this tale of love, ambition, and betrayal promises to captivate viewers as it follows the Forsyte family in 1880s London. Make sure to mark your calendars for the premiere of The Forsytes on Masterpiece PBS in 2026.
