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.

Please have a season 2 of Sanditon.
I hope that you would reconsider and have a season 2 or more for Sanditon. Jane Austin deserves to have her final work end in something more beautiful and not that of a cliffhanger
Please say it isn’t so!!! Sanditon just has to have a season 2!!!!
There must be a season two! Why introduce Susan and give us all hope? It's so cruel to end it like this.
I APPROVE OF THE ENDING OF SANDITON AND DO NOT WANT A SEASON TWO. ALL STORIES CANNOT HAVE A SO CALL HAPPY ENDING OR THEY BECOME PREDICTABLE. HAD JANE AUSTEN LIVED LONGER AND PUBLISH MORE, WE MAY HAVE SEEN MORE BALANCE ENDINGS TO HER STORIES CONSIDERING HER PERSONAL LIFE EXPERIENCES. SYDNEY CHOSE TO SAVE HIS BROTHER'S FAMILY FROM TOTAL RUIN AT THE COST OF HIS RELATIONSHIP. I SEE THAT AS CHARACTER.
No fair to end that show that way. This was enjoyable show
Very disappointed in the cancellation…I just found it on PBS. Perhaps you did not promote it enough to gain the viewers to support ITV.
How disappointed I am!!! Hope season two somehow happens for Sanditon.
We need closure, please!
sincerely hope for season 2 of Sanditon. We are left up in the air… so unfair, very disappointed
I cannot believe that this has happened. This story is rich in characters and plot and has gained an enormous following. I would have thought its potential was obvious….and we need to have a resolution. Give the fans what they want! TV drama should not be just about money, but about quality, which this has in abundance.
Love Sanditon. Please bring it back to Masterpiece!!!
I am so unhappy you left us hanging with
"Sanditon"! It was great…please reconsider!!!
Error #1: The inadequate promotion of Sanditon resulted in poor audiences, not the lack of fans' interest.
Error #2: Please correct your initial error by returning Sanditon, Season Two, with adequate forewarning and promotion!
PLEASE!! We MUST have a season 2!! We cannot be left hanging!! Season 1 is wonderful! So much chemistry between Sydney and Charlotte!!
Very disappointed that there isn't a second season of Sanditon. Was so looking forward to what could have been a very entertaining series. Maybe they need to reconsider.
Sooo disappointed!! There is so much left to the story ! Please renew
Please have a Season 2 of Sanditon. It is such a wonderful show with great casting. Season 1 ending left so many loose ends. What happens to Georgiana, to Charlotte and Sidney, to young Mr. Stringer!
This is just terrible of you ! I loved this program and looked forward to it every Sunday . Should I even begin another program only to have you do the same !
Sanditon is better than Downton Abby and we were simply in love with it. PLEASE make another season!!
If you want a happy ending, read the book.
We are in love with Sanditon and are heartbroken there is no season two. Please, PBS, pick it up and continue the story. There is much yet untold…
This is not fair of you! Waiting every Sunday. My heart are broken. Iam very disappointed.
Make PLEASE ANOTHER SEASON !!!!
We are in love with Sanditon and are heartbroken there is no season two. Please, PBS, pick it up and continue the story
Definitely need to bring this show back! Ratings are off the charts in the US. It was premature of ITV to cancel the show before it really even had a chance to become something. #savesanditon
iTV is not going to produce a season 2, but I'm not sure that PBS isn't. Your info is about iTV, not PBS.
We love this show, please please please bring it back.
I really enjoyed Sanditon and so look forward to second season. We need more shows like this and Austin would love to see a woman overcome the challenges she faces.
pI am put off watching anymore ITV drama. Don't trust them to do this again.
Sanditon has been a bright spot in this time of uncertainly in our world. What a shame not to finish the story that was started! Give the viewers (and cast & crew) what they want and make a Season 2!
