Here's who is returning and who is newly joining the cast of Sanditon season 2. Originally airing on ITV in 2019 and PBS Masterpiece in 2020 (and subsequently canceled),Sanditon was resurrected and seasons 2 and 3 were greenlit thanks to its loyal fans. Sanditon season 1 was based on 11 chapters written by Jane Austen before her death but the series has now taken on a narrative all its own.
Set in a posh seaside resort town on the south coast of England, Sanditon centers on Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams), who stays as a guest of the resort's founder and visionary, Tom Parker (Kris Marshall). Miss Heywood meets Sanditon's eclectic residents, most importantly, Tom's handsome brother, Sidney (Theo James). Charlotte also befriends Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), a Black heiress who was Sidney's ward. Like other Jane Austen literary couples, Charlotte and Sidney have a tumultuous relationship until they realize they have fallen in love, only for Sidney to marry someone else to secure the money to save Tom and Sanditon from financial ruin. Sanditon season 1 ended with Charlotte and Sidney tragically parting ways as she returned home and he went off to his new wife.
