A foretaste of The Forsytes
The Chronicle
|October 17, 2025
New period family saga The Forsytes will feature a starry cast. RICHARD JONES finds out more
-
The dark nights are drawing in, and if you're seeking a lavish and scandalous period drama to snuggle up to, look no further.
Based on John Galsworthy's Nobel Prizewinning trilogy and penned by Poldark screenwriter Debbie Horsfield, The Forsytes follows the eponymous upper-middle-class family as they encounter romantic turmoil, feuds and scandals in Victorian England.
The show chronicles the lives, loves, trials and triumphs of the wealthy stockbroking family, whose generations are torn between tradition and self-sacrifice, personal happiness and the pursuit of love.
The main focus of the show is the conflict between Soames (Joshua Orpin) and his cousin Jolyon (Danny Griffin), as they fight over who will take over the family firm.
This story is from the October 17, 2025 edition of The Chronicle.
