The final episode of Channel 5's period drama The Forsytes airs tonight, bringing the first season to a close. The six-part series, adapted from John Galsworthy's novels, has been available for streaming on the channel's platform.
The remake features a star-studded cast including Downton Abbey's Tuppence Middleton, Coronation Street's Millie Gibson, Home and Away's Joshua Orpin, One Day's Eleanor Tomlinson, and This Life's Jack Davenport. The series originally ran on the BBC as The Forsyte Saga from 1967 to 1969.
Set in the late Victorian era, the drama explores family tensions, marriages imploding, and long-held secrets. The synopsis teases a conflict between Soames Forsyte and his cousin Jolyon over the family business, while younger members rebel against societal expectations.
Fans have praised the series, with one calling it 'perfect for Bridgerton lovers' and another declaring it a 'new obsession'. The show has already been renewed for a second season.
