About

Based on John Galsworthy's novel of the same name, The Forsyte Saga chronicles the lives of an English family over 34 years from the Victorian era through World War I. Superior, arrogant and confident, the Forsytes are the ultimate power family. What lies beneath is a festering core of unhappy and brutal relationships, riddled with tensions and jealousy. The stellar cast includes Damian Lewis (Homeland, Wolf Hall on MASTERPIECE); Ioan Gruffudd (King Arthur, Fantastic Four); Corin Redgrave, Gina McKee, and Rupert Graves.
