“Lusty” 6-part period drama The Forsytes perfect for Downton Abbey fans gets renewed for season 3 The Forsytes, a six-part period drama inspired by John Galsworthy’s 1920s novel The Forsyte Saga, has been renewed for a third season. The show, which follows the lives of an upper-class English family, has already captivated audiences with its blend of romance, drama, and historical detail. The first season is set to premiere on PBS Masterpiece in the U.S. on March 22, while production for season three is set to begin in the UK and Europe next month. The series, which originally aired in the UK in October, has been praised for its lush costumes, intricate storytelling, and strong performances. It is described as a mix of Downton Abbey and Bridgerton, offering a lavish glimpse into late-Victorian England. The show’s renewal comes after its first season was greenlit for a second season, which was filmed last year. The Forsytes centers on the Forsyte family, a group of stockbrokers navigating the complexities of tradition, ambition, and personal desire. The first season’s synopsis highlights the tension between older generations, who value duty and reputation, and younger members who challenge rigid family expectations. The arrival of two remarkable women disrupts the lives of the central characters, forcing them to confront questions of loyalty, love, and legacy. The cast includes Francesca Annis as the matriarch, Ann Forsyte, alongside Tuppence Middleton, Stephen Moyer, Jack Davenport, Danny Griffin, Eleanor Tomlinson, Millie Gibson, and Joshua Orpin. The ensemble brings depth to the family’s conflicts, with particular focus on the dynamic between Soames Forsyte and his cousin Jolyon, whose rivalry over family control drives much of the drama.#the_forsytes #john_galsworthy #pbs_masterpiece #downton_abbey #bridgerton
