The secrets of the Forsyte family are laid bare for a whole new generation in this bold reimagining of John Galsworthy’s iconic tale. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast and planned as a returning series to captivate audiences year after year, The Forsytes reunites Mammoth Screen with renowned screenwriter Debbie Horsfield – the creative team behind global hit Poldark. Inspired by the original Nobel Prize winning novels, the drama chronicles the lives of the wealthy upper-class Forsyte family in the rapidly changing world of 1880s London, portraying a family bound together by duty, until that duty conflicts with matters of the heart. As their story unfolds, intense infatuations, divided loyalties and scandalous secrets will tear up the rulebook they have all learnt to live by. But the question is, when you are a Forsyte, can you ever follow your heart? Or must duty, reputation and convention always win the day? Channelling contemporary themes of love, sex, ambition and power, and set against an epic canvas, this fresh new adaptation will transform the world of the Forsytes and is guaranteed to get everyone talking.
