Everything about <em>The Forsyte Saga<\/em> is huge &#8211; it&#8217;s an epic canvas, and Debbie&#8217;s magnificent scripts have delivered a truly great ensemble cast. I hope audiences worldwide will be captivated by the secrets of Soames, Irene, Jolyon and other Forsyte family members as they are laid bare for a new generation of fans!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Susanne Simpson, Executive Producer of MASTERPIECE, added, &#8220;We&#8217;re proud to commission a new, original take on <em>The Forsyte Saga<\/em>. This sweeping, romantic drama portrays how duty binds a family together until it conflicts with matters of the heart.
