‘Howards End’ to Premiere on Starz in April

The lavish new BBC adaptation of Howards End officially comes to America this Spring – on Starz. The premium cable network will air the four-part period drama beginning on Sunday, April 8.

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.

The drama stars Hayley Atwell and Philippa Coulthard as the Schlegel sisters, joined by Matthew Macfadyen, Tracy Ullman, Julia Ormond, Alex Lawther, Joseph Quinn, Rosalind Eleazar and more.
