Line of Duty star's London-set period drama is streaming on Netflix as new reboot gets update
The Forsytes, starring Doctor Who's Millie Gibson, hasn't even premiered season 1 yet but has already been renewed for a second season.
Meanwhile, the previous adaptation – starring Line of Duty's Gina McKee – is currently available to stream on Netflix and ITVX now.
Running for two seasons across 2002 and 2003, The Forsyte Saga's cast also includes Homeland's Damian Lewis, Sherlock's Rupert Graves, Bad Boys: Ride or Die's Ioan Gruffudd, and Andor's Ben Miles.
It follows the titular well-off family, with a specific focus on the arrogant Soames, who is in loveless marriage with Irene and views his wife as a possession more than a person.

When news of her affair breaks, the family is engulfed in scandal.
McGee, who played Jackie Laverty in the first season of Line of Duty, took on the role of Irene in ITV's adaptation – the character being played by Gibson in Channel 5's new reboot.

Russell T Davies Wants You to Stop Asking Him If ‘Doctor Who' Is Dead or Not
We can officially add Russell T Davies to the list of creative people who've become irritated with fans wanting updates on a particular project they're inextricably linked to. Think George R.R. Martin and The Winds of Winter, or James Gunn and The Batman Part II. Now, the Doctor Who showrunner from 2005-2010 and again since 2023 would like you to stop asking him Doctor Who questions. No doubt those queries have only gotten more intense thanks to the utter lack of updates about the show's future. Ncuti Gatwa's run as the character ended when the Fifteenth Doctor regenerated—confusingly—at the end of May, and fans still have no idea what's coming next, if at all. 'There's nothing to report, nothing's happening. You'll know when you know, when we know. I don't know,' Davies said on the Pilot TV podcast this week (via Doctor Who TV). He also pointed out, 'Conversations are between the BBC and Disney. I don't work for either of them. I work for Bad Wolf, so I'm not part of those rooms. So I literally don't know. And even people I work with every day, so they couldn't know what's really going on. I'm going, 'I don't know.' I really don't know.' In another recent interview, this time with the Big Issue magazine (via Deadline), he brought up the fact that even though he's devoted a lot of his career to Doctor Who, that's not all he's done. 'I love Doctor Who, but I don't own it. It's not mine. So in the end, my heart will always be with the things that I own,' including shows he created himself like Queer as Folk. The magazine did ask him about the future of Doctor Who, because frankly, people are dying to know. He gave a one-word answer: 'Behave!' That's not quite Gunn telling Batman Part II speculators to 'Get off Matt [Reeves]' nuts,' but we may escalate there soon. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

'Ridley' Season 2 Cast: Meet The Returning And New Characters And Actors Who Play Them
After what felt like an eternity, Adrian Dunbar has gracefully returned to our screens, bringing his brooding consultant detective Alex Ridley back for another season of ITV's compelling crime series, Ridley. The second series marks the beginning of Ridley's latest chapter, where Dunbar's beloved protagonist once again partners with the sharp-witted DI Carol Farman (played by Bronagh Waugh) to unravel mysteries that would challenge even the most seasoned investigators. The new series opens with an episode called A Sleeping Tiger, a haunting tale that sees Ridley and Farman investigating the murder of Ryan, a young man whose life is cut tragically short just hours after his release from police custody. Initially a suspect in a jewelry heist, Ryan's story becomes something far more complex and devastating. Each of the four episodes of Ridley promises a standalone mystery, ensuring fresh faces and new intrigue while keeping our cherished regulars exactly where we want them — front and centre. Consider this your go-to guide of who's who in Ridley season two. The full cast of Ridley season 2: Adrian Dunbar as Alex Ridley Bronagh Waugh as DI Carol Farman Terence Maynard as DCI Paul Goodwin Georgia Glen as Dr. Wendy Newston George Bukhari as DC Darren Lakhan Julie Graham as Annie Marling John Michie as Harry Bentham The new cast for Ridley season 2 episode 1: Chloe Harris as Tash Walker Kaya Moore as Callum Douglas Kerim Hassan as Liam Manley John Henshaw as Frank Stanford Kriis Bohn as Rebecca Bayling Ridley season two begins on ITV1 on August 10. Who is Alex Ridley? Alex Ridley is the series' protagonist, a retired officer whose personal tragedy — losing both his wife and daughter in an arson attack — continues to inform his every move. What else has Adrian Dunbar been in? Dunbar, of course, needs no introduction for Line of Duty devotees, though his filmography spans from The Crying Game to My Left Foot with remarkable range. Who is DI Carol Forman? DI Farman is the driving force behind Ridley's return to working on cases, after she called him back to the force as a consultant. What else has Bronagh Waugh been in? Bronagh is best known for playing the role of Sally Anne Spector in The Fall alongside Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson. She's also had roles in The Stolen Girl, Des, Derry Girls, Unforgotten and many more. Who is DCI Paul Goodwin? Maynard returns as DCI Paul Goodwin, Carol's superior whose complicated history with Ridley adds layers of tension to their working relationship. What else has Terence Maynard been in? Maynard has been a fixture on the small screen since the mid 1990s and is best known for his work on Coronation Street, Sherwood, The Witcher and Edge of Tomorrow. Who is Dr Wendy Newston? Dr Wendy is the chief forensics officer in Ridley and works alongside Ridley and Carol. What else has Georgia Glen been in? Call The Midwife fans will recognise Glen as the series' character Miss Higgins. She's also had roles in Waterloo Road, The Crown and Hetty Feather, among many others. Who is DC Darren Lakhan? Darren is another member of the police force who often works alongside Ridley and Carol. What else has George Bukhari been in? Outside of his role in Ridley, Bukhari is best known for starring in Ordinary Lies, Coronation Street, After The Flood and The A Word. Who is Harry Bentham? Harry Bentham, a local businessman whose growing connection to Annie promises to shake up established dynamics. What else has John Michie been in? Coronation Street alumni will remember Michie's memorable Karl Munro, while recent viewers caught him in Karen Pirie's second season. Who is Tash Walker? Tash works in her mother's pub but also has a bigger role to play within the series. What else has Chloe Harris been in? Harris has had roles in The Village, The Trial of Christine Keeler, The Spanish Princess and Nolly, to name just a few. Who is Callum Douglas? Callum is a suspect in the case. What else has Kaya Moore been in? Viewers will most likely recognise Moore from his role of Phoenix Taylor in Waterloo Road, which he appeared on for over 30 episodes. He also starred in Adolescence and Vera. Who is Liam Manley? Liam is a suspect in the case and also has a connection with Tash. What else has Kerim Hassan been in? Hassan has also starred in My Fault London, Champion and Obsession. Who is Frank Stanford? Frank is Ryan's grandpa. What else has John Henshaw been in? Henshaw has been on our screens since the early 1990s and is best known for his roles in projects such as Stanton Blues, Early Doors, Born and Bred, and Heartbeat. Who is Rebecca Bayling? Rebecca is the lawyer brought into work on Ryan's case. What else has Krissi Bohn been in? Over the years Bohn has appeared on a number of shows including Law & Order UK, Waterloo Road, and Eastenders. Naomi May is a seasoned culture journalist and editor with over ten years' worth of experience in shaping stories and building digital communities.
