Returning: Sanditon

The third and final season of Sanditon premieres next week on BBC First.

The six part series stars Rose Williams, Kris Marshall & Crystal Clarke plus Anne Reid, Kate Ashfield, Jack Fox, Lily Sacofsky and Rosie Graham.

Sanditon premiered in 2019 but was axed after one season, before a lifeline renewal for two more seasons by PBS’ Masterpiece and BritBox UK.

The hugely popular period drama based on Jane Austen’s unfinished story returns. Can a now engaged Charlotte come to terms with her feelings for Colbourne?

When Charlotte returns to Sanditon with her fiancé in tow, she’s forced to confront her feelings for Colbourne. Can the two keep ignoring their mutual attraction? Meanwhile, Georgiana battles in court to protect her newfound inheritance and the public scrutiny sends her spiralling out of control. Lady Denham rediscovers an old flame from her youth and Edward insists that he’s a new and reformed man – but will Augusta Markham’s fortune be too irresistible a proposition? With a flurry of weddings and failed engagements, will the Sanditon residents find true love and happiness after all?

Wednesdays at 8.30pm from March 22 on BBC First.
