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.”

Based on Jane Austen’s final unfinished novel, Sanditon was adapted and created by Andrew Davies and produced by Red Planet Pictures.
Taking Austen’s story in their own creative direction, Justin Young took the helm as lead writer and executive producer for Seasons 2 and 3. Don’t miss the last chapter, catch Sandtion when it returns for Season 3 on PBS, and until then, watch the preview, above.
