Will ‘Sanditon’ Have a Season 2 on PBS Masterpiece?

PBS Masterpiece

If you’re one of the many viewers enjoying PBS Masterpiece’s Sanditon, you’re not alone. The show serves as a partial adaptation and interpretation of Jane Austen’s unfinished novel by the same name.

As the last episode nears, we can’t help but wonder: Will there be more beyond the eight episodes provided to viewers? The show, which was originally commissioned for and aired on ITV in the U.K., launched there in the fall of last year, only to get the axe.

“We would have loved it to return, but unfortunately we just didn’t get the audience that would make that possible for us, which is heartbreaking for everybody involved in this wonderful adaptation,” a spokesperson for the network said about Sanditon, according to The Sun.

The cancellation on ITV was made before the show launched in the United States, though, and the initial statement read, “Sanditon is yet to air in the US and we hope they may find a way of continuing with this series.”

Essentially, the success of the show in the United States could determine its fate in the long run, but that remains to be seen. Starring Theo James, Rose Williams, Kris Marshall, Kate Ashfield, Crystal Clarke, Charlotte Spencer, Leo Suter, Mark Stanley, Jack Fox, Anne Reid and Lily Sacofsky, Sanditon brings to life the story introduced by Jane Austen in 11 chapters of her 1817 work.

Since the show already aired overseas, reactions to the finale reveal a lackluster ending that leaves many loose ends begging for further conclusions. Since we won’t be spoiling any of the plots from the finale, you’ll have to tune in to find out why Season 2 would be deemed necessary by viewers.

As stated above, not all hope is lost for Season 2, and writer Andrew Davies (House of Cards, Bridget Jones’s Diary) said, “The American co-producers are very keen to do a second series – we’re still living in hope.”

Red Planet Pictures, producers on the series, also haven’t given up the possibility of more Sanditon, as a statement released by them said, “We’re very proud of Sanditon and look forward to seeing how it’s received on Masterpiece in January.” They added, “We will obviously explore all opportunities to keep the world of Sanditon alive.”

Only time will tell if viewership was enough to keep this oceanside-set series afloat. But hope remains until then, and that’s certainly all fans can ask for, right?

    Sanditon is utterly fabulous - the quality of the acting, the script, the sets, costumes, music are second to none. A truly compelling, must watch series that needs to continue. It’s totally unfathomable that any TV company would let this series go?! Marketing in the UK was very poor, so people generally didn’t know of Sanditon but anyone who did watch became obsessed with it and how brilliant it is. Not sure I’ve ever known such an obsessive reaction to a TV programme before! Someone please see sense and don’t let this gem of a show end so soon.

    I have already streamed the finale in the US. (people who donate up to a certain dollar amount to their local station have had streaming access to the whole season since it started airing in my area.) I binge watched the whole series in one day, and I really enjoyed the story...but the ending! Viewers will not be satisfied if the end rests with this season's finale. It would leave the series with the most "un-Austenian" ending of any Jane Austen adaptation ever.

    #Sanditon. I've never been keen on tv shows and there has never been one that I've been more drawn to than "Sanditon." I can't tell you how often I have re-watched episodes or informed my friends to watch. I don't want it to end. The story lines are solid and film fantastic. I'm hooked. I hope that there is a Season 2. Also, how would it be to finally finish a "book" after several hundred years to only see its show go "unfinished." Thank you for your consideration.

    Here's the broad outline of Season 2 for Andrew Davies, FWIW: Charlotte goes back to her family, heartbroken. maybe becomes a teacher of young children. Sydney must put up a good face to Eliza Cambell, the finance he doesn't love to get her money to save Sanditon. Lady Denham somehow hears about the love between Charlotte and Sydney and the sacrifice Sydney is about to make to save Sanditon. She also hears about the impending departure of the talented builder Stringer who would otherwise be rebuilding the town but gets the big offer in London. Now that Esther is well married to a lord, Lady Denham has no heirs to worry about and somehow has a change of heart about further investing in rebuilding Sanditon. Because Eliza's wedding plans are so "elaborate" , they go on for months. But Eliza eventually realizes her finance is not in love with her, even though he is acting noble and doing his best to be kind to her. Miss Lambe, I haven't figured out a story line for yet. So with all these pieces, I think an 8-part season 2 could be fleshed out by Andrew Davies as brilliantly as season 1 but with the conclusion Austen would have written.

      After re-watching the last three episodes, I think the more logical story arc is that Lady Susan is the catalyst for both the funding of Sanditon (through the patronage of the Prince Regent) and the consequent release of Sydney from his reluctant engagement to Eliza Campion and reunion with Charlotte. Andrew Davies can do a lot with that.

      13

      1. B

        BlueDice

        Very much agreed. We need a 2nd Season, so that Lady Susan can come in and “save the day” so to speak, allowing Sidney to go after Charlotte and reclaim his true love. Then the wedding planning can begin once he has taken the dutiful step of asking for her hand in marriage with Charlotte as his rightful fiancé. Of course, if there were to be a good ‘ole, hot & steamy argument between the two upon first reuniting (due to a misunderstanding) that could make it all the better. Oh...let’s add some rain in there and Sidney in a white shirt only at that time (for whatever reason lol) and there my friends would be close to perfection. 😌 Well, at least for that scene. We MUST, MUST, MUST have Season 2!! There simply shouldn’t be any doubts about it. I absolutely loved every second of the 1st Season! Who in their right mind would stop with only one and especially, with that ending? Please give us the show and ending we want and that she deserves!

      2. P

        Yes, I agree with Lady Susan wanting to help her friend Charlotte and the funding of Sanditon.... I was miserable with this ending; so unlike Jane Austeen!

    It has to continue as it is incomplete as is. Jane Austen always had a happy ending, though the marriage couples could be different than expected.

    I don't understand why there is even a question as to there being a second season. It appears that the U.S. has fallen in love with Sandition, and there are many in the U.K who are disappointed that it was canceled after one season. That said, I would think that a season two in U.S. would allow PBS to make money off of a season two video for U.K audiences as well as U.S. It's a win win!

    RedLobster

    It is a fascinating story with excellent characters and actors, and enough twists and turns to last several seasons, especially if these characters are allowed to develop, and their relationships are explored with care. Sydney's and Charlotte's love certainly deserves more exploration. Both of these characters are nicely complex, as are Georgiana and Otis. Indeed, after Jyuddah Jaymes' brief, but excellent portrayal of Otis Molyneux, particularly his touching apology to Georgiana---one of the best scenes in the series, one can see that there is much to explore in his and Georgiana's relationship, not to mention Georgiana's back story with Sidney, which might even be an interesting way to give some insight on Austen's own subtle anti-slavery references in at least one other novel. So I join the rest here in wanting to see more!

        I think “Susan” could be the answer to Charlotte’s problem. “Susan” could have her friend help Tom financially. Thus, Sidney could leave Mrs. Campion (At the alter) and go to Charlotte begging her forgiveness to marry him.

    The intensity and attraction between Sindey and Charlotte is like a hot sensation that went quickly cold with how Season 1 ended. Love is enviable for these two characters and there is the other characters that have more to give to Sanditon as well, which was also left hanging. Which is why Season 2 is a must without losing Jane Austen in the writings

    I perfectly timed my PBS Masterpiece subscription to end when The Durrells and Poldark ended, but I had to renew because I fell in love with Sanditon.

    I am a long time fan of Masterpiece...I can assure you with no doubt Sanditon deserves at least a second season and really beyond that! Look at Poldark, Downton Abbey, The Durrells in Corfu!!!! Yes, Sanditon is definitely up there. Please bring it back. Otherwise, what a monumental disappointment. Thank you,

    PBS needs to start a GoFundMe page. Maddening to leave things hanging. It's one thing to have an ending that many fans disagree with, a la Game of Thrones, but just a total cheat to leave major characters up in the air. It's not finished.

    We NEED at least a season 2!!! I have not enjoyed a masterpiece show this much since Downton Abbey. Quite frankly, I think I love this more!?

    Please finish this story! It cannot possible end this way! There's too much undone: Miss Lambe and Otis, Mr. Stringer's success in architecture, the completion of Sanditon, Lady Susan's friendship with Charlotte, and of course, Charlotte and Sidney's happiness! Come on now! You know we can't just leave all these stories hanging!!! It just isn't right, and you know it!!!

    I can’t get enough Sanditon! A lot of us have been watching it over and over so we can stay within the world that has been created here. This show has me hooked. The characters have so much chemistry and the stories are just perfect! Please give us season 2!!! We will go crazy without it!!

    OH MY GOSH if this does not go on i will be so disappointed. Only just saw it here in Sydney last week and thankfully found it on ABC IVIEW .Theo James we need to see more of you, you are amazingly talented. The story line, the acting , the writing , brilliant love it. The chemistry between Ms Haywood and Sydney is perfect. Partial adaptation, no adaptation, appropriation... who cares ! Its bloody good!

  113. O

    I love this series; please make a season 2! I want to know what happens! Don’t leave us hanging! The cast, costumes, and script are amazing!

  114. G

    Oh please... a second season of Sanditon. There have been very few happy and rewarding events in 2020, and then along came Sanditon. A breath of fresh air! This series gave us something positive to look forward to and it would be so wonderful to continue the series into the future.

  115. G

    GreenPretzel

    Needs a second season to complete all of the stories in the story of Sanditon. I’ll try to wait patiently.

    OrangePumpkin

    With this pandemic, and feeling trapped in my house. I somewhat feel like Charlotte's finale scene of not being in control of my circumstance and not liking the out come of the changes that have occurred. I long for Charlotte to have a happy ending and for my world that has been turned upside down to be put right again by watching Charlotte fall in love again. This show takes you away and it has everything (mischief, love, sorrow, humor,and romance) and makes you feel as if you are there. This Show must continue, if it's a true Jane Austin, the wrongs must be put right again.

    The acting in this series is phenomenal. When you're watching. you only see the characters for who the characters are meant to be and not the actor or actress as anyone else.

    Also, I kinda want to see if Author will be won over by the lovely and snarky Miss Lamb. So that the Parker brother's beach side resort will be saved and that Charlotte will get her happy ever ending with Sydney. And that he not have to marry Eliza to save the resort.

  117. C

    I need a second season!! It just can’t end!!

    Please, please, please!! This series is ripe for many more seasons!!! It's a resort, after all, with different guests showing up all the time!!! I'm very interested in having all the loose ends tied up!!! With the same characters, of course! Theo James is perfect! And so is Rose Williams and the rest of the cast!!!!!

  119. G

    Just finished Season one. Please give us season two. There is so much still unfinished.

    There has to be a 2nd season!!! You cannot leave the story as it ended in Season 1!!! Please, please, please bring this series back; there is so much more that could be told to the story but of course we all want the inevitable happy ending for Charlotte!!!!

  121. G

    Please have a another season.

  122. P

    PurpleBug

    Please bring a second season of Sandition! The ending left so many viewers wanting so much more. This was one of the best shows aired on TV in a very long time. It would be truly a shame for it end. Need ideas for a second season? I’m sure so many viewers would be happy to chime in their thoughts! Myself included! There are so many directions you could take each of the characters. Please don’t let season one be the end!

  123. B

    BlueFan

    I’ve binged watched the entire first season in two days. Please, please, please let there be a season 2. With all the crap that gets produced in Hollywood how can this deserving show not get a second season?

    I’m so hopeful for a Second Season. I would love to see Charlotte find her every happiness most especially, with Sydney the up & coming architect.

    Sanditon is one of the BEST Series on Masterpiece/PBS! It must have a Season 2! The masterful Andrew Davies has reintroduced us all to Jane Austin with the beautiful setting, costumes, and intriguing plot, but with an edge that we love. Please, Andrew Davies, get to work on Season 2.

  129. R

    RedPretzel

    Loved this show! Hope it returns!

    The incredible love story that is the heart of Sanditon must have a second season. Season one ended with heartbroken Charlotte and Sidney. Don’t leave the world of Sanditon fans heartbroken too! Are you listening Netflix and Amazon Prime?

  131. O

    Fabulous series begging for a second season! Don’t leave fans heartbroken like Charlotte and Sidney! You hear me Netflix and Amazon Prime!

    we need a more seasons on this wonderful story. There is lots to write about... mostly how Ms Haworth moves on... and the other loose ends ..

  133. G

    GreenWrench

    I loved this PBS series!!!! Sanditon, more, more, more!!!! We need another season(s) to resolve the characters situations and conflicts. The ending was so not like Jane Austin. We need another season!

  134. G

    GoldGlasses

    I was unpleasantly surprised when I realized that I'd just watched the final episode of "Sanditon" this past Sunday night. It was so clearly NOT OVER. It was very clearly not the Austen ending we, her fans, love and have come to expect. Our viewing pleasure aside, it was not an ending that comported at all well with Austen's world view of romance and human relations and the way human society works, even with its foibles. At its core, her vision is ultimately optimistic in its assessment of human nature. The ending we got for "Sanditon" says something very different: that dismal, money-driven self-sacrifice must win the day, at the expense of true happiness, which could just as easily be penniless but still be true. Simply put, this ending was a total downer and left me with a bad taste in my mouth for a program that I loved and deeply enjoyed. We need a Season Two!

  135. G

    GreenFlask

    I really enjoyed Sanditon and was devastated to learn it was only the eight episodes. Why would PBS run a teaser like that? Very disappointed.

  136. G

    GreenFlask

    I really enjoyed Sanditon. Please give us a second season!

  137. R

    RedBee

    So,producers, with thousands of fans clamoring for season 2, what further proof do you need that it’s a monster hit in the US and you can announce it already??

  138. G

    GoldScooter

    Loved this series! Yes to season 2 Please!!

  139. R

    RedPlane

    Loved the show, but cried the way it ended (episode 8). We must have a season 2 to clear up a lot of lose ends I am begging for another season!!

  140. G

    GoldTrumpet

    After watching the end here in US can’t believe there isn’t a second season. Please bring this show back for season 2.

  141. R

    RedQuill

    Ok, producers, how much more convincing do you need? Between all the comments, likes, petition signers, twitter users, etc. etc. you already have

    thousands clamoring for season 2! So when

    will you announce it already???

  142. P

    PurplePizza

    Yes, there is so much more to the story and we want to see it... whatever it holds!!!

  143. G

    GoldTeepee

    I, too, loved this series. I love anything British especially if it’s anything by Jane Austen. I am very upset to hear we might not have a Season 2. Hopefully someone will make the right choice to continue the series.

    I was hoping to have Sanditon get me over the loss of not having Downton Abbey anymore. Still miss that show.

  144. O

    OrangeDog

    Get anybody to do it that appreciates the classics beside this perverted writer, Mr. Davies!! His mind was in the gutter and obvious from the first episode to the last!!

  145. O

    OrangeDog

    There is no excuse for this series first of all to run 8 hours and not have a satisfactory conclusion. Which of the previous Jane Austen stories have ran longer than this? None!! I am not pleased at all with the liberties taken by Mr. Davies. I am convinced he was the wrong person for this job to begin with. The A & E network director and others involved with the A & E sponsored production of Pride and Prejudice minus Mr. Davies would have been the ideal people to get to complete this work. It definitely has the same potential to be another classic along side Pride and Prejudice but with the correct quailified person(s) to finish the task.

  146. G

    We loved this series...please bring Season 2 to the shores of America ~

  149. O

    OliveCone

    Ending a show with tears simply is rude! The question is! Did they intend on a second season? If so, than it’s even more disheartening to viewers and Jane Austen. And I can’t believe they even chose to air it knowing they would leave the 2 who are mainly in love, in tears and departing each other! How often did Jane Austen do this to her main characters? From a US victim of PBS.

  150. G

    GoldPopsicle

    Terrible ending. I was so disappointed. Not that Charlotte and Sydney didn't get together, sometimes stories don't have a happy ending, but it just wasn't well done. Please do season 2 and try again to get it right!

  151. G

    GoldLeaf

    I hope there will be a second season

  152. R

    Bring back Sanditon! You could have another Downton Abbey success!

    RedLobster

    May the American viewers see another Sanditon, Season 2? I purchased Season 1 through ShopPBS. We need to see what happens to Charlotte, Sidney and Young Stringer. Please don't dissappoint your faithful viewers. We need a Jane Austen ending. Thank you.

  154. G

    GoldLeaf

    Yes Season 2 please

  155. B

    The ending was gut wrenching, and a second season is in order!

    Why not send out a survey to viewers on your PBS Passport to see if they agree?

  157. P

    I loved this program. More please!!!

  158. P

    PurpleCar

    I agree with all my fellow Jane Austen fans. Please don’t leave the story unfinished! And if we Yanks are the ones who sway the powers that be to go ahead and make another season, it should air HERE first!

  159. O

    OliveBoomerang

    It would be heartless to allow us, the viewers, to become so invested in the characters and their lives and not be able to continue the journey to see what happens. Jane Austin would never knowingly leave so many loose ends. Her devotees would expect a conclusion!

  160. G

    GreenCoffee

    You can't leave us with that ending! There are so many unanswered questions! Please bring a season 2......

  161. P

  167. G

    GreenQuill

    I hate when this happens.........I almost wish I didn't even start to watch it. We need another season or 2 to finish what was started. Masterpiece shouldn't even accept a show that has no real ending and leave it's audience scratching it's head.

    I so enjoyed the actors comments after each episode, but 8 especially....when "Esther" said that it takes us into a world you can escape into.....I found so true. In episode 7 shortly before the brothers race, of course "Tom" is pairing "Sidney" with the lady who broke his heart 10 years earlier.... "Arthur" said to "Sidney" that he didn't know if he could trust to be with her now, very sincere and meaningful words from Arthur. I loved that hopefully Esther now, might have a happy life too. I very much enjoyed SANDITON.......I will watch it over and over through out the years to come...and escape into it........as I will always want for more of this story, as well.

  183. O

    I have had the same fervor for Sanditon that I had for Downton Abbey. The writing is uplifting with vocabulary that is lost to most today. Acting is very skilled - very interesting sub plots. A new setting - Theo and Rose both superb! Please have a 2nd Season!

    Stunning dramatisation which needs to be continued and finished in the way Austen would have done.

  232. G

    Stunning dramatisation with a massive cliffhanger that needs resolution. ITV did badly in its extraordinary lack of promotion so it must put things right. We are willing to help fund it and find a donor if necessary. Come on ITV repair what YOU have damaged! #sanditonseason2 #sanditonsisterhood.

    Sure would love to see a season two for Sanditon!!

  239. G

    GoldPopsicle

    Yes, this series needs Season 2. The plot, the dense, complex characters, the costuming, sets, music, wit and humor, deserve more time to unfold. Besides the story of Charlotte and Sidney, Miss Lambe needs time, I want to see Lord and Lady Babington more, Sir Edward will keep causing trouble. So much to enjoy in a Season 2. Oh, and Mr. James Stringer....his story intrigues us as well. Tom Parker will keep making stupid, risky financial decisions....it would be fun for someone to tell him off!

  240. C

    CyanCoathanger

    I never thought a series would be this amazing, for the love of god and us mere mortals please please please give us a happy conclusion

    Hope the series continues with Season 2. And hoping for a happy ending.

  242. C

    CyanPopcorn

    The Season 1 finale is too abrupt. It needs season 2, or at least a special episode to tie up loose ends and give Charlotte and Sidney a happy ending. No would want to buy a DVD with a terrible ending like that.

  243. G

    GreenBone

    We definitely need a season two of Sanditon! The show is terrific and has a loyal and growing following.
