Will there be a Sanditon series 2?
It is still unclear whether viewers will be treated to a second season of Sanditon.
Screenwriter Andrew Davies has made it clear that he would be up for coming to the story on scree.
He told Radio Times: “We haven’t had much chance to talk about it yet, but yeah, I do have a few ideas. And in fact, the way we end series one, I hope we then get to a point where an audience says, ‘You can’t leave it at that!’
Andrew continued: “Because we enjoy it, we have a great time on the writing team and we want to continue it.”
How does season 1 of Sanditon end?

On the night of the Midsummer Ball, romantic interests are resolved.

What was the Sanditon book about?
Austen wrote the first 11 chapters of Sanditon months before her death in 1817.
It follows Charlotte Heywood, a spirited and impulsive woman who moves from her rural home to Sanditon, a sleepy fishing village attempting to reinvent itself as a seaside resort.
Davis said: “Heywood’s spiky relationship with the humorous, charming Sidney Parker is a key part of the story, which has a spirited young heroine, a couple of entrepreneurial brothers, some dodgy financial dealings, a West Indian heiress, and quite a bit of nude bathing.”
