‘Sanditon’ returns: Official first trailer for Season 2 has arrived!

PBS has released the first teaser for the new season of Sanditon.

The popular period drama series received a surprise renewal in 2021 following an incredible campaign of support by fans.

Based on Jane Austen’s unfinished final novel, Sanditon originally launched in 2019 on ITV.

While Theo James sadly won’t be returning as Sidney, there are six new regular cast members and lots of actors from Season 1 are reprising their roles.

Dickensian writer Justin Young is the new showrunner, taking over the reins from Sanditon creator Andrew Davies, while several fresh writers have also joined the team.

Season 2 started shooting last summer in Bristol, England and we don’t have to wait too much longer to see the six brand new episodes.

Fans have told they can look forward to “new romances, friendships and challenges for the residents as the Army make Sanditon their new base.”

A brand new 30-second preview from Masterpiece features our first glimpse at Season 2.

As well as the lavish coastal landscapes and beautiful locations we’ve come to expect from Sanditon, the brief trailer also give us a sneak peek at new characters Captain Carter, Colonel Lennox, and Captain Fraser.

The handsome trio are played by Maxim Ays (Still So Awkward), Tom Weston-Jones (Dickensian), and Frank Blake (Bridgerton).

Watch the teaser here:

 

Sanditon is back in the US at 9/8c on Sunday 20th March on Masterpiece on PBS.

Season 2 then premieres in the UK on Monday 21st March on BritBox.

New episodes will each debut weekly over the following month in both the US and the UK.

ITV viewers in the UK can see the new season on broadcast television later in 2022.

A third season of Sanditon is believed to be due on our screens next year.

Sanditon is available on DVD on Amazon.
