The second season of the period drama Sanditon will debut on BritBox on 12 May with the Regency Era-set series that has also been renewed for a third with feisty heroine Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) returning to the seaside resort where romance, new suitors and adventure awaits.

With the first season now available on BritBox, the second season of the acclaimed period drama that is now a BritBox Original, picks up the story nine months after the end of the first season as Charlotte returns to the seaside resort that’s on the cusp of dramatic change.

Tagging along this season is Charlotte’s starry-eyed younger sister Alison (Rosie Graham) with the new season following the lives and loves of the town’s inhabitants, with romance, humour and
plenty of plot twists and turns.

This time Charlotte attracts the attention of not one, but two new
suitors.

 

While Theo James bowed out as Sidney Parker, in
his place are a number of new, eligible bachelors in the form of Colonel Francis Lennox
(Tom Weston-Jones), the
wealthy but reclusive Alexander Colbourne (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) and the enigmatic artist
Charles Lockhart (Alexander Vlahos).

Against the backdrop of beautiful coastal
vistas, further adventures also lie in store for rebellious Miss Georgiana
Lambe (Crystal Clarke) who is keen to forge her own path in life.

The second season also sees the return of other familiar faces such as Lady Denham (Anne Reid), Tom Parker (Kris
Marshall) and Mary
Parker (Kate Ashfield).
