The Forsytes Episode 2 (PBS)
In The Forsytes Episode 2, the gloves come off – quietly, of course. As Jolyon Jr. finds himself caught between duty and desire, a past connection with Louisa resurfaces in a way that threatens far more than his reputation. Frances keeps a watchful eye (and a tighter grip), June begins asking questions no one wants answered, and Soames turns his attention to the enchanting – and elusive – Irene. With whispers of scandal, strategic family maneuvering, and just enough longing glances to keep us hooked, the Forsyte world is already proving that beneath all that polished propriety…things are getting deliciously messy.
The Forsytes Episode 2 (2026) premiered on Sunday, March 29, 2026 on MASTERPIECE on PBS.
