‘Sanditon’ Teases Season 3 Reunion for Charlotte & Colbourne (VIDEO)
Sanditon‘s second season has come to a close and there’s the promise of another chapter on the horizon as PBS Masterpiece gives fans a first look at what’s to come in Season 3.
The show’s second season concluded with another cliffhanger, and a brief teaser shared by PBS is sure to cause a stir. In Season 2 of the Regency-era drama, heroine Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) returned to the titular seaside resort town only to find heartbreak once again.

After Sidney Parker’s (Theo James) efforts to save his family through marriage to another left Charlotte devastated, his death caused even more chaos. She seemed to find brief happiness with the town’s notorious widower Alexander Colbourne (Ben Lloyd-Hughes), but by the time Season 2 came to an end, he’d dismissed her from her position as a governess for his niece and daughter, feeling as though he’d taken advantage of her and the position she worked at his estate.
When Colbourne realize the errors of his ways, it was too late to sway Charlotte a different way as she’d resolved to leave Sanditon once more. A brief flash-forward in time also reveals that Charlotte has become engaged to Ralph Starling (Cai Brigden). But could her circumstances change in Season 3?
“You’ll never guess who’s returned to Sanditon,” a voice sounding a lot like Colbourne’s daughter Leo (Flora Mitchell) says in the snippet, below. The teaser unveils a clip of Colbourne and Charlotte seeing each other at what appears to be a ball or party of some kind.
Is there hope yet for Charlotte’s happy ending? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and stay tuned for Season 3 of Sanditon when it arrives in 2023.

Please don't bring Sidney back. Charlotte had such a good chemistry with Mr. Coulbourne. He is much better man than Sidney. Charlottes heart has been broken two times already. Let her get back to a man who is dealing with his own uncertainty not to a man who was willing to trade her for money. I really do feel sad for Charlotte and also Miss Lamb. Time to give them little bit of luck. ..and not to go into a same track like last 2 seasons.

Yes, yes, Charlotte and Colbourne will marry of course. Should be an incredible season with a wonderful story ending happily. However I will be very sad if the show ends. I love the cast so much. It's a lot of fun to watch. There are many more opportunities for stories to tell. More seasons!!!!

If the writers follow a Jane Austen model, Charlotte and Colbourne will have their happy ending. But not before a few emotional whirlwinds.

I loved Charlotte and Colbourne. They have surpassed my all time favorite couple , E and Darcy. 😍😍

I loved Season 2. Wanted more episodes. I do hope Charlotte and Colborne end up together. Please don’t have them find each other in the story in Season 3 episode 5 or 6. Unless they get more seasons. I would love to see Charlotte and Colbornes story to continue in future seasons in Sanditon. They could continue to invent new storylines as the era progresses. Poldark did and it was a fantastic series. More Sanditon!

I am tired of watching sad endings. That is definitely not Jane Austen’s style. Charlotte deserves to be happy. I can’t wait for season 3. I hope they will air it sooner than in a year.

Looking forward to S3! 🤩 Imo: Leonora knows what she wants and will do her part; Augusta has entered Sanditon Society; Mrs. Wheatley will continue to be Colbourne’s fierce defender; Ms. Lambe will find her mother; Charlotte and Xander will reunite in true love after resolving misunderstandings. Will Lady Denham reunite with her lost love? Hopefully,Season 3 will have Happy Endings for all despite typical Austen-style bumps/obstacles. 🥰

It would be a very disappointing end to Sanditon if Charlotte marries Ralph - I'm looking forward to a happy reunion between Charlotte and Colbourne. Also would love to know what Colbourne was going to ask Charlotte before she interrupted him in the last scene - was he going to propose???

~ I, too, thought that young Stringer (Leo Suter) and Charlotte would be a great match (in Season 1's beach game, he failed to tell her how he felt and lost his blessing). However, the way events turned out with Sidney Parker (Theo James), he was toxic for her. In Season 1, he was rude, belittled her b/c she lived on a farm not knowing anything about the world outside of it. Colbourne was a recluse, totally inept at being the father Leonora needed, or the uncle that Augusta needed. Looking forward to Season 3 and tying up loose ends so that Charlotte gets the HEA she truly deserves. ~

I still want her to get with Stringer from Season 1. He should come back a Full architect and sweep her off her feet.

I completely agree because I think he was the only man who really and absolutely truly loved her. He would have never made her sad and devastated as much as Sidney and Colbourne have.

Bring Sidney back and divorce Eliza and marry Charlotte. Eliza will have probably remarried a rich man already any way.

Charlotte and Colburne will not marry each other. She will be a good and proper farmers wife while Colburne becomes dark and sinister. Their unrequited love will never come to be.

I wouldn't count on any thing happy from this show. They seem to like sad endings. Not worth investing any more time into it.
