THE FORSYTES SERIES
RICHARD RANKIN JOINS SEASON TWO
Although the first season is yet to air in 2026. PBS Masterpiece is already shooting the second season of THE FORSYTES costume drama based on The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy and they have added Richard Rankin to the cast. Over in UK Channel 5 will air the first season of six episodes later this year following the lives of the wealthy Forsyte family
in 1880s London. In this next chapter that is now shooting in Britain, the proud dynasty faces a new era of scandal, ambition, and shifting loyalties. As love, legacy and reputation collide, the cracks in the family’s polished façade grow ever deeper. The regular cast includes Francesca Annis, Jack Davenport and Stephen Moyer. See image from 1st season here.

Not sure I will be interested in watching a dram happened in 1880s. Is Channel 5 any good?
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely, always has those short four or five episode mini series that they air within a week, they have changed the name to just 5 but I find it stupid.
DeleteOhh PBS had promised it for this Fall.
ReplyDeleteStrange how they are moving everything to 2026, both this and Monte Cristo.
DeleteOk, I thought I was losing my mind when you said season 2 and I was wondering how I missed season 1. I am looking forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteYes, PBS pushed it to next year, but it will air here in Europe probably in Autumn. PBS is so weird, they even pushed Sam Claflin's Monte Cristo to next year even though I watched it last year LOL
DeleteYeah, they are good about airing everything else in Europe first. Though with our funding slashes going on here, I wonder how much they'll choose not to air here going forward.
DeleteEspecially as Trumpie cut PBS funds as well LOOOL Not that I am surprised hillbillies rarely watch costume dramas.
