The BBC’s adaptation of Howards End will be shown in the US next month.

The four-part drama is adapted from E.M. Forster’s classic novel by Oscar-nominated screenwriter and playwright Kenneth Lonergan (Manchester by the Sea, Gangs of New York).

Starring Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter), Matthew Macfadyen (Ripper Street) and comedian Tracey Ullman, the series aired in the UK in 2017 on BBC One.

Howards End will premiere at 8/7c on Sunday 12th January on PBS.

It will continue on Sunday evenings until Sunday 2nd February.

Watch the trailer:

The mini-series explores the changing landscape of social and class divisions in turn of the century England through the prism of three families: the intellectual and idealistic Schlegels, the wealthy Wilcoxes from the world of business, and the working class Basts.

In the first episode, a passionate misunderstanding, a surprise visit and a stolen umbrella in the spring of 1905 set into motion a series of events that unexpectedly intertwine the lives of the Schlegel, the Wilcox and the Bast families.

Howards End is available to watch on Amazon Prime.
