PBS's 6-Part 'Gilded Age' Replacement Is So Good, It's Already Been Renewed for Two More Seasons

PBS’s new period drama “The Forsytes” premiered on PBS in September 2025 as a prequel to John Galsworthy’s Forsyte Saga. The six‑part series has already been renewed for two additional seasons, with the second season filmed before its North American debut. The show centers on cousins Jolyon and Soames as they juggle family duty, business ambition, and forbidden love, while giving the women of the era richer, three‑dimensional arcs. Weekly releases position it as a timely substitute while audiences await the return of “The Gilded Age.”
