The Forsytes

Two more seasons of The Forsytes are on the way, with the third following the family on vacation in the French Riviera.

Jo faces a choice between Frances and Louisa while Irene sees her life closing in around her and Anne reveals a family secret. 

Irene begins to learn what it is to be married to a Forsyte, while Frances tries to prevent Jo from seeing Louisa any more.

The Forsytes want June to marry an aristocrat, Soames having failed in that regard. But June is growing closer to the radical Bosinney, even as Soames' vision of the future falters. 

James is scheming to use a relationship against Jo to install his own son as head of the company, but Soames' romantic choice shocks him and the family when it is finally revealed. 

Soames quickly intensifies his relationship with Irene without his family's knowledge, while a long-kept secret upends Jo and his family's lives. 

Jo Forsyte married to advance his family's interests and gave up his passion for art to work for the family firm, which he is due to head, despite his cousin Soames' belief that he is better suited. 

The latest lavish historical drama from Masterpiece is here. Here's how to watch it when it premieres on March 22.
