Sanditon Season 2
Was Sanditon cancelled or renewed for season 2? When does it start on PBS? Who will be returning for the new season? In this post, we have summarized everything we know so far about the next season.
What Is Sanditon About?
The TV series is a bold continuation of Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel. Season 1 follows newcomer Charlotte Heywood’s arrival in town, and her budding friendships and romantic possibilities. Charlotte’s epic journey continues in Season 2, which explores the classic predicament of a young, independent woman making her way in the world.
Fans and friends, we’re thrilled to share with you everything we know so far about the upcoming second season of Sanditon! New storylines, new characters, returning faces (both good and devious), plus some early, sneak peek images to feast your eyes upon. Mark your calendars, set your reminders, and let the countdown begin for the premiere on Sunday, March 20, 2022 at 9/8c on MASTERPIECE on PBS.
Sanditon, the fan-favorite drama inspired by Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel is back for Season 2, premiering Sunday, March 20, 2022, 9/8c. After the first season’s finale left viewers hanging in suspense, the story continues with its high-spirited heroine, Charlotte Heywood, returning to the picturesque coastal resort of Sanditon and the companionship of her friend Georgiana Lambe. What adventures, scandals, intrigue and above all else — romance — await Miss Heywood this season?
Joining the Season 2 cast: Ben Lloyd-Hughes (Industry) as Alexander Colbourne, a handsome and enigmatic local recluse; Tom Weston-Jones (Shadow and Bone) as dynamic Colonel Francis Lennox; Rosie Graham (Outlander) as Charlotte’s hopeless romantic sister Alison; Frank Blake (Normal People) as diffident Captain Declan Fraser; Maxim Ays (Still So Awkward) as Captain William Carter; and Alexander Vlahos (Versailles) plays Sanditon’s Bohemian artist, Charles Lockhart.
The all-new season picks up the action nine months after the end of Season 1, when some hearts were left broken, some were soaring, and the town’s future was not so clear. But time tends to heal most wounds. The town of Sanditon is growing in popularity as new faces arrive on the scene to join our beloved seaside community. After a tearful departure at the end of Season 1, Charlotte Heywood finds her way back to the beautiful seaside resort. Despite her heartache, her life moves forward, and she catches the attention of not one, but two new suitors in town. And Charlotte has not arrived in town alone; she is accompanied by her spirited younger sister Alison, who is starry eyed and on the hunt for her own love story. Meanwhile, Georgiana Lambe, on the cusp of turning 21, is as driven as ever to forge her own identity. Independent, outspoken, and rebellious as always, she finds herself once again up to mischief in the name of love. But will it be worth it? Sanditon’s grand visionary Tom Parker is doing all that he can to rebuild the town after the events of last season. But between unforeseen issues and the secrets and lies of the dysfunctional Denhams, his task is no easy one — perhaps even an impossible one. To top it all off, the Army arrives to make their new base in Sanditon, bringing new potential romances, friendships, and challenges for the residents we know and love.
You heard it here first: Season 2 premieres Sunday, March 20, 2022 at 9/8c on MASTERPIECE on PBS. There will be six episodes.

Plenty of your favorite Sanditon residents are back for the all-new season! Here are some of the Season 1 cast members you will get reacquainted with in Season 2. Rose Williams returns as Charlotte Heywood, who we last saw departing the seaside town with a broken heart. Crystal Clarke returns as Georgiana Lambe, a woman who wants nothing more than to lead her own life. Kris Marshall is back as Tom Parker, the optimistic but often overzealous dreamer and leader of the town. Anne Reid returns as Lady Denham, alive, healthy, and opinionated as ever. Jack Fox is back as the devious and not-quite-honorable Edward Denham, who was last on the outs with his aunt and his step-sister after trying to scam Lady Denham for her fortune. Charlotte Spencer returns as the strong-minded Esther Babbington, nee Denham, who found love at the end of Season 1. Lily Sacofsky also returns as the deceitful Clara Brereton, whose true nature was uncovered last we saw. Turlough Convery is back as Arthur Parker, Tom’s charismatic brother. Kevin Eldon and Adrian Scarborough also return as Mr. Hankins and Dr. Fuchs, respectively.
What would the lively town be without a few fresh, new faces arriving? Ben Lloyd-Hughes (Industry) joins the cast as Alexander Colbourne, a mysterious newcomer in town with a complicated past, and is one suitor after the attention of Charlotte. Also fighting for her affections is war hero Colonel Francis Lennox (Tom Weston-Jones, Grace), the self-assured, starkly opposite to Colbourne. But will Charlotte be ready for romance, again? Rosie Graham (Outlander) joins the gang as Charlotte’s sister Alison, another young woman with big dreams of her own, who is setting out on her first adventure away from home. Catching her eye is the handsome and charming Captain William Carter, played by Maxin Ays (Still So Awkward), one of the new Army soldiers settling into town. And the new Army pals don’t end there: Frank Blake (Normal People) joins as Captain Declan Fraser, who’s a bit rough around the edges. Lastly, Alexander Vlahos (Versailles) will play the striking Charles Lockhart, an artist who has come to paint some of the more…well, shall we say, fashionable folk of the town.
Get ready for more sand, more sun, and more beachy vibes! According to Somerset Live, filming for the second season spanned across the rolling hills and coastline of the scenic, southwestern English county. Dare we say…could any place be better suited to set the scene for the fictional resort? Season 1 was filmed in a number of historical locations, from St. James Church in Littleton, to Bowood House, to Dyrham Park and Iford Mansion.

Is it official that Sanditon is having a Season 2 ? Thanks
Can you confirm if Sanditon Season 2 has been confirmed for renewal or whether this is an automated update. Thanks
This was a mistake on show status. We fixed it now. We are sorry for the misunderstanding.
What is the source for the cancellation? PBS has not confirmed yet any info the future of the series.
Is the cancellation of Sanditon S2 confirmed? ????????????
We have added the source information to about section. Of course, this doesn't mean that it can't be revived by PBS.
We definitely want a Season 2 to Sanditon!!! This could be the next Downton Abbey! Please keep this going PBS!!!
Sanditon should at least be renewed for one more season. All of the untied threads needs to be tied up. They could resolve everybody’s storyline by the end of a second season.
Sanditon is a hit in the U.S., so we are hopeful Season 2 is in progress soon!!!
PBS, please, please, please keep Sanditon alive – it has been as much fun, if not more, to watch as Downton Abbey or Victoria!
Please tell me this isn’t the end???? We definitely want a season 2. PBS please keep this going!????
Sanditon deserves at least a second season. It is entertaining, witty, and endearing. I have enjoyed it as much as Downton Abbey and have watched it several times already. Don't leave us hanging!!
Please give us a second season of Sanditon!!!! PBS, why don't you pick-up the story.

Why?? It was a great season 1..lets get season 2..come on
Sanditon is such a breath of fresh air. Please keep it going for at least another season. We needed to see what will happen to Charlotte and Sidney.
It is cruel to end this wonderful story in this way. How would Jane Austen have felt to see it remain unfinished once it was given new life. Surely she would have wished its continuation if she had lived long enough to finish the story herself. Please find a way to make a second season. Thank you!
This is a magnificent show. Sanditon should at least be renewed for more season. All of the untied threads needs to be tied up. They could resolve everybody’s storyline.
PBS, please, please, please keep Sanditon alive – it has been as much fun, if not more, to watch as Downton Abbey or Victoria!
Please, please, please, give this series more time! So much could be done with it.
Definitely please do a season 2 of Sanditon. i'm in the US and love it. Please don't leave us hanging.
They can't let Sanditon end like this! It's so unfair! And nothing like Jane's Austen story lines!
Please offer second season of Sanditon on PBS!
I just was this series for the second time! It can't stop now! I demand that we get a season 2!
I just finished watching Howards End on PBS. The denouement of the story completely made sense. On the other hand, I streamed Sanditon and, sadly, the conclusion made no sense. Originally, Sanditon was advertised as “Season One.” I believe it is disingenuous of Masterpiece Theater and PBS programming to leave viewers hanging on the edge of their seats with such an un-Austen-like ending. I have read several of Jane Austen’s novels, and the television production of Sanditon leaves viewers desiring a hopeful outcome of the show through a second season. I seriously wonder if those of us who have taken time to write of our displeasure and desire for an additional season creating a believable conclusion will fall on deaf ears at Masterpiece and PBS. Perhaps audience interest and financial support means little to those in charge of programming.
Yes, we want a season 2 of Sanditon!! I’m sure there ate plenty of people that feel the same way. Please reconsider and confirm a season 2.
Please give us a season 2….you can't do this to us!!
We LOVE Sanditon!!! Please don’t cancel it!!????
Adding my voice and vote for a season 2 to Sanditon. So much appreciated!
Please give us season 2 of Sanditon. I can’t bear the miserable & unhappy ending to Charlotte & Sidney.
I am disappointed in Masterpiece and PBS. To suck viewers in to a "Austen" production with a final episode that does not resolve issues and is so unsatisfying and without any
depth of explanation risks you losing your viewers for other shows…..Please commission a Series 2 even if it is a 4 session arc. Disappointed viewers will not return for the next production….or be inclined to support future endeavors.
