Where to watch by country

United Kingdom

  • Live broadcast : Channel 5, Mondays at 9 p.m. BST/GMT (check current listings as schedules can shift slightly over time).
  • Streaming on demand : 5 (Channel 5’s online platform, sometimes written as My5 or 5), free to use once you create an account and have a valid UK TV licence.

United States & Canada

  • Planned home : MASTERPIECE on PBS, with the show announced to premiere there in 2026, but without a precise date publicly locked in yet.
  • Streaming (when it launches) :
    • PBS site and PBS app will typically offer recent episodes free for a limited window.
* Extended/archived access usually comes via PBS Passport (for example THIRTEEN Passport), a member benefit add‑on.

Australia

  • Broadcast/streaming : ABC iView carries “The Forsytes,” with weekly episodes made available there; iView is free but requires an ABC account.

What about older “Forsyte” adaptations?

If you actually meant the earlier ITV/BBC adaptation “The Forsyte Saga” (2000s version), that is a different title but related material.

  • In the US, that series is currently listed as streamable via PBS‑related channels on some platforms and can be bought digitally on major stores like Amazon and Apple TV.

Quick viewing tips

  • If you’re in the UK and missed an episode, go straight to Channel 5’s 5 catch‑up service and search for “The Forsytes”.
  • If you’re in North America, you may need to wait until the 2026 PBS rollout; setting a reminder or following MASTERPIECE/PBS on social media can help you catch the exact premiere date once it’s announced.
  • In Australia, check ABC iView’s “Drama” or “Latest” sections; episodes are typically added shortly after broadcast.
