DESCRIPTION:
(from PBS's press release, August 2026) MASTERPIECE PBS has today announced the cast for its fresh reimagining of the iconic series Monarch of the Glen, a rich, romantic and humorous family saga rooted in legacy, love and survival, returning to the Scottish Highlands for a new generation. The series will see Julia Brown (World on Fire, Karen Pirie) as high-flying London lawyer Isla Campbell, who finds herself back at her family's crumbling Highland estate for her estranged father's funeral, expecting to be gone in days. Instead, she discovers she has inherited a million-pound debt, a bank closing in, and a brother, Alasdair, played by Chris Fulton (Bridgerton, Outlander), refusing to let go of their ancestral home. Under the same roof for the first time in years, brother and sister must find a way to save the struggling estate before time runs out and they lose it for good. |
