For the Forsyte family, business and blood are inextricably linked. As Jolyon Forsyte prepares to celebrate his daughter June’s grand entrance into society, a far more serious family matter commands attention. The chairmanship of the powerful family firm, Forsyte & Co, is up for grabs, and a dynastic war is brewing between the patriarchs, brothers Jolyon Sr and James.
The battlefield is not a boardroom, but the drawing rooms of high society. Each brother is determined to see his own son installed as the successor, pitting cousin against cousin in a ruthless game of ambition and inheritance. Will this public celebration become the first open clash in the fight for the Forsyte legacy? And are the sons merely pawns in their fathers’ power struggle, or do they have dangerous ambitions of their own?
The Forsytes airs Monday October 20, at 9:00 PM on 5.
