Joshua Orpin and Millie Gibson as Soames Forsyte and Irene Heron in The Forsytes / 5
5 has released first-look pictures of new period drama The Forsytes starring Doctor Who‘s Millie Gibson.
Set in late 1800s London, the drama follows the romances, family bonds and ambitions of the upper-class Forsyte family, with the promise of “desire, ambition and betrayal”.
As well as Gibson as Irene Heron, The Forsytes also stars True Blood‘s Stephen Moyer as Jolyon Forsyte Sr, Jack Davenport as James Forsyte, Danny Griffin as Jolyon Forsyte Jr, Tuppence Middleton as Frances Forsyte, Joshua Orpin as Soames Forsyte and Eleanor Tomlinson as Louisa Byrne.
The six-part series will premiere on 5 later this autumn.
