‘Sanditon’ Final Season Trailer Teases More Romance for Charlotte (VIDEO)

Sanditon will come to an end with its third and final season next month as the PBS  fan-favorite series eyes its return date.

A show that ignited a passionate fanbase will begin its concluding chapter on Sunday, March 19 with the first episode of a six-episode season. The show will also stream on the same day.

“Sanditon has been an incredibly special series for Masterpiece, and we know it has found its way into the hearts of countless fans,” said executive producer Susanne Simpson in a statement shared by PBS. “While we are sad to say goodbye to the series, we know our audience has a lot to look forward to in this new season.”

The show also makes way for several new characters that will bring drama, laughter, and romance along with them such as Lady Montrose (Emma Fielding), a quintessential Austen mother, she arrives in Sanditon with one objective, which is to find matches for her children, Lydia (Alice Orr-Ewing) and Lord Henry Montrose (Edward Davis). Meanwhile, Rowleigh Pryce (James Bolam) is a wealthy and curmudgeonly investor who teams up with Tom Parker for the resort’s expansion.

Things will become complicated when he runs into Lady Denham. And the town gets shaken up when Alexander’s charming lawyer brother Samuel Colbourne (Liam Garrigan) pays a visit. Needless to say, this final chapter will be filled with plenty of excitement.

“It’s a thrill to be bringing Sanditon back to audiences for one more trip to the seaside,” Executive Producer for Red Planet Pictures Belinda Campbell adds. “This third and final season is full of the heart and joyful spirit that viewers will connect with. Our dedicated fans have been absolutely amazing in their support of the show, and we hope they’ll enjoy the conclusion of Charlotte and Georgiana’s stories.”

Sanditon memorably premiered on PBS in 2020, and despite being canceled at its origin-network itv in the UK, it was saved with a Season 2 and 3 renewal at PBS in 2021. Based on Jane Austen’s final unfinished novel, Sanditon was adapted and created by Andrew Davies and produced by Red Planet Pictures.
