Sanditon series 2 trailer

London, 14th February: BritBox UK today released a trailer for the highly anticipated second season of Sanditon, which will be available exclusively on the platform on 21st March, following its premiere on MASTERPIECE on PBS. 

Sanditon, the acclaimed drama based on Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel and developed by  Emmy®- and BAFTA-winning writer Andrew Davies, left fans in suspense and clamouring for more with the first season’s heart-breaking finale. The new series picks up the action nine months later, as the  town grows in popularity, and features characters familiar and new. 

Charlotte (Rose Williams) taking up the role of governess to Augusta Wilson (Eloise  Webb), Alexander Colbourne’s ward and niece, who at the age of 17 pushes against authority and  soon gives Charlotte a run for her money. Charlotte’s spirited younger sister, Alison Heywood (Rosie  Graham) comes to Sanditon to pursue her own romantic dream, and joined by The Parkers, the second  series promises new romances, friendships and challenges for the residents as the Army makes Sanditon their new base. 

The Parkers are back, as Tom Parker (Kris Marshall) strives to rebuild Sanditon. But there are many  unforeseen issues awaiting him, while the secrets and lies of the dysfunctional Denhams continue to  rock the foundations of the sunny seaside town. And, in her last summer season before turning 21, Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), keen to forge her own identity, gets up to mischief in the name of  love…but will she run the risk of being lonelier than ever before? 

The second series of Sanditon will air on the ITV following the premiere window on BritBox UK.
