The Forsytes is a new period drama series that premiered on Channel 5 on Monday, October 20. The show offers a fresh adaptation of John Galsworthy's Forsyte Saga novels, featuring a notable ensemble cast.
"Family stability is threatened by two chance encounters for rival cousins, Jolyon and Soames, throwing their previously steady lives into disarray. Married Jolyon contends with the reappearance of his former lover, Louisa, a lady’s maid-turned-dressmaker, while daughter June falls for a penniless architect. Soames, meanwhile, is enchanted by the beautiful and free-spirited dancer Irene. All must decide whether to be ruled by the head or the heart."
The Forsytes began airing at 9pm on October 20. The first episode starts ten years after Jolyon’s marriage to society favorite Frances and follows the Forsytes as they prepare to celebrate June’s 18th birthday and her introduction to society.
Two episodes have aired to date, and viewers are anticipating the next installment on Channel 5.
The Forsytes blends classic literature with modern storytelling, supported by a talented cast and keenly followed by period drama fans since its October premiere.
