Period drama fans have a lot to celebrate in the new year - the lavish new Howards End is coming to PBS Masterpiece!

Based on E.M. Forster’s classic novel of the same name, Howards End follows two unconventional and independent sisters – Margaret and Helen Schlegel – as they seek love and meaning in an ever-changing world. That’s the vaguest description of this story possible, which also includes love, loss, matchmaking, poor decisions, class issues, financial ruin and more.

If this particular period drama feels a bit familiar, well it should. This adaptation of Howards End originally aired on premium cable network Starz in the Spring of 2018. Now, it's coming to Masterpiece. The four-episode series will air beginning Sunday, January 12, 2020 and serve as a lead-in and companion to upcoming Jane Austen drama Sanditon.
