A new batch of photos have been revealed from 5's adaptation of the novels by John Galsworthy's The Forstye Saga novels, giving us a new look at Doctor Who's Millie Gibson along with the rest of the cast.
Gibson, who plays Irene Heron in the series, is seen alongside Joshua Orpin (Home and Away) as Soames Forsyte. Other stars seen include Danny Griffin (Fate: The Winx Saga) as Jolyon Forsyte Jr, Tuppence Middleton (Downton Abbey: A New Era) as Frances Forsyte, and Eleanor Tomlinson (The Couple Next Door) as Louisa Byrne.
Also featured and rounding out the central cast are Stephen Moyer (True Blood) as Jolyon Forsyte Sr and Jack Davenport (The Assassin) as James Forsyte.
The synopsis for the series, which is set to debut on 5 later this autumn, says: "Desire, ambition and betrayal are at the heart of this sumptuous costume drama that follows the romances, family bonds and ambitions of the Forsytes, a prominent upper-class family in late 1800s London.
"The series is inspired by the novels known as the The Forsyte Saga, which were previously adapted with the same title. This new reimagining portrays events that take place before those covered in Galsworthy's classic books and brings romance to the forefront."
When the series was first confirmed by 5, Paul Testar, commissioning editor of drama at the channel, said: "We are excited to give The Forsytes its UK home on 5. This lavish new adaptation is a great addition to our rich portfolio of period dramas.
"With a stellar cast, stunning production, and rich ensemble of characters, it has all the components our audience loves."
Meanwhile, Damien Timmer, chief creative officer at production company Mammoth Screen, added: "It’s been a joy working with Debbie Horsfield and our magnificent cast on series 1 of The Forsytes for Masterpiece on PBS.
"We're thrilled UK viewers are going to be able to watch it on 5, which has become such a destination for drama audiences. Let the saga commence!"
The Forsyte Saga was previously adapted as a 10-episode series for ITV, which starred Damian Lewis and and Gina McKee.
The Forsytes is coming soon to 5.
