The "Sanditon" Season Two Trailer Has Dropped, And I'm Ready For More Regency Romance

TRULY back by popular demand.

Sanditon fans, rejoice! Another trailer for the second season has been released, shedding much-needed light on what on earth is going on in the lives of Sanditon's merry populace.

ITV/PBS

The Regency era series first aired in 2019, and follows an interpolated plot based on Jane Austen's final unfinished novel of the same name.

BritBox in the UK has released a one minute teaser of the upcoming season – a season we weren't even sure would happen!

ITV/PBS

ITV previously cancelled the period drama back in December 2019 due to a lack of viewership. However, a forceful online fanbase (ironically) campaigned for the series to continue, and continue it shall... For a second AND a third series!

Let's get into what we know about the new series so far. Obviously, season one left us on a HUGE cliffhanger, which was part of the reason why fans were gutted to hear the show had been axed!

ITV/PBS

The will-they-won't-they relationship between ingénue Charlotte Heywood and dashing rake Sidney Parker fuelled a lot of tension in the first season. After the couple shared a satisfying union up on the cliffs of Sanditon, the episode faded to black seemingly never to be heard of again! Well, after months of waiting, we finally know what has become of "Sidlotte".

Sadly, Theo James's character will not return in the second season. In fact, the story picks up nine months later, with Sanditon having grown significantly in popularity.

ITV/PBS

BritBox has shared that "the second series promises new romances, friendships, and challenges for the residents, as the Army makes Sanditon their new base."

As the trailer shows, Charlotte heads back to Sanditon (with her younger sister Alison in tow) to take up a new post as a governess.

Seemingly focused on her job and her friends, Charlotte is DONE with love – which is obviously Sidney's fault.

ITV/PBS

Damn you, Sidney, you sexy bastard! You so should've chosen James Stringer, Charlotte.

We also see Charlotte walking on the cliffs where we last saw her with Sidney.

Our girl is still hung up on Sid! Tbf, I'm taking that naked beach scene to the grave and I wasn't even there.

However, it wouldn't be a period drama (especially one inspired by Jane Austen) without a little romance! Flanked by her sister Alison and her rich BFF Georgiana Lambe, Charlotte reluctantly enters society again, and quickly falls into YET ANOTHER love triangle.

ITV/PBS

This girl's love life is chaos personified.

Who will choose – the strapping Colonel, the rich gentleman, or herself? We'll have to wait and see!

ITV/PBS

Many of the first season cast will also reprise their roles, including Kris Marshall as Tom Parker, Anne Reid as Lady Denham, Charlotte Spencer as Esther Denham, Jack Fox as Sir Edward Denham, and Crystal Clarke as Georgiana Lambe.

ITV/PBS

Emmy and BAFTA-winning creator Andrew Davies will also return to write a number of episodes and to executive produce.

Are you excited?! Sanditon will be available to stream on BritBox on 21st March following its premiere on Masterpiece on PBS. It will also air on ITV in the UK following the premiere window on BritBox.

ITV/PBS

Fingers crossed for more of these shenanigans.
