Why The Forsytes is Your Next Obsession
If passion, ambition, and betrayal aren’t reason enough, here are six more reasons why you’re sure to be hooked on The Forsytes, premiering March 22, 2026, 9/8c on MASTERPIECE on PBS.- Lovely to see so many young people.

- I like to think we take their views into account.
- Tradition is what counts.
Stability, no impulsive changing of the guard, (gentle music) - But sometimes is it not a fresh perspective that is exactly what is needed?
- Provided the proposed candidate's up to the task.
- I understand you're an avid reader.
- Uh, but I- (gentle music continues) - Have you read "Frankenstein?"
- Uh, no, I- - You'll find you have some sympathy for the creature.
No will of its own, forced to do another's bidding until, of course, it rebels.
(dramatic music)
