English on my mother's side - Eastern European on my father's. I'm a lethal combination of drama and tragedy when I write fiction.
While Seasons 2 and 3 were being filmed, there were individuals who stumbled across locations and took stealth photos, posting them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The scenes were also filmed in Clevedon, Brean, Weston Super Mare, Dyrham Park, and The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol. There were many localContinue Reading
When the Sanditon teaser trailer, consisting of 30 seconds was released, we all screamed with joy. I think I’ve watched it a million times already. Until we get the longer trailer, it’s all we have to sustain us until we wait for more scenes from the upcoming Season 2 ofContinue Reading
As of today, it’s 55 days until Sanditon Season 2 is released on PBS Masterpiece. Let’s take a look at the clues about the journey for some of our female characters both new and returning. Rose Williams, as Charlotte Heywood, is our heroine of the story. In a recent podcastContinue Reading

Yesterday, on January 20, 2022, it was a full day of Sanditon overload from the short teaser trailer from PBS Masterpiece being released, to the tweets on Twitter about the questions to the producers and cast at the Television Critics Association 2022 Winter Press Tour. Thanks to a few individualsContinue Reading
Now we finally have a first look at what season two has in store as well as a premiere date. “I’m exceedingly fond of Sanditon and the people in it,” Charlotte says in a preview clip, which was dropped on YouTube on January 20. The video’s caption adds, “Pack yourContinue Reading
PBS gave TV critics and entertainment journalists their first official peek at Sanditon Season 2 today during the Winter 2022 TCA Press Tour. Returning Sanditon stars Rose Williams and Crystal Clarke were joined by producers Belinda Campbell and Susanne Simpson, writer Justin Young, and brand new heartthrobs Ben Lloyd-Hughes andContinue Reading
Must I write about this woman? I suppose since she was a main character in Season 1. The entire audience around the world had to endure her arrival back into Sidney Parker’s life. Creation of the writers and not of Jane Austen, Eliza serves a purpose in the storyline. It’sContinue Reading
Lady Susan is a creation of the writers of Sanditon and not mentioned in Jane Austen’s text. Interestingly enough, Jane Austen did pen a short novel entitled Lady Susan, thought to be written sometime in 1794 but not published until 1871. Sophie Winkleman, who is actually Lady Frederick Windsor, marriedContinue Reading
If you’ve been one of the lucky ones in the past week or so, you have either watched a few flying clips of Sanditon Season 2 during a BritBoxUK advertisement, or you were one of the lucky ones who got a preview teaser from PBS Masterpiece after last Sunday’s viewingContinue Reading
Season 2 of British historical drama Sanditon is coming to PBS Masterpiece on March 20, and fans are in a frenzy after a short trailer aired after All Creatures Great and Small on Sunday night. ‘Sanditon’ Season 2: Fans Are Going Crazy Over New Promo (VIDEO) Unfortunately, Oregon Public BroadcastingContinue Reading
Sanditon Season 2 Images Reveal Rose Williams’ Return as Charlotte Heywood. Masterpiece PBS has released more images from the upcoming second season of Sanditon, the television adaptation of Jane Austen‘s unpublished novel.

Miss Lambe is a creation of Jane Austen and described as seventeen, half mulatto, and the possessor of an immense fortune. Miss Lambe is a young lady–probably a niece–under Mrs. Griffiths’ care, richer than all the rest, and very delicate health. You can see below from Jane’s text the mentionsContinue Reading
Lord Babington – a creation of the writers of Sanditon, the television series. He’s a good friend of the Prince Regent and a friend and acquaintance of Sidney Parker and Mr. Crowe. He’s an admirer of Esther Denham and an excellent catch as a husband. His love story with EstherContinue Reading
The Stringers. Two characters in the series are developed far beyond what Jane Austen had in her original text. There is only one instance of the name “Stringer” in the Sanditon novel. But it occurs to me that we ought to go elsewhere upon such occasions, and that old StringerContinue Reading
Clara Brereton, played brilliantly by Lily Sacofsky, is for me the most complicated of individuals in Sanditon. Clara, as we see her in the screen production, is the product of her past and circumstances of poverty, who has one goal in mind – survival. Jane Austen set the stage, introducingContinue Reading
Everyone loves a villain. I think it’s safe to say that Edward Denham fits the bill in many ways. He’s seducer, a manipulator, and a conniver among many things. He’s motivated by greed and has no moral compass or conscience to guide him. Jane Austen created Edward and penned theContinue Reading
Esther Denham is a character to pity and love. She shows enormous growth through Season 1, and is part of a HEA scenario with Lord Babington. Without Esther, there wouldn’t be much rejoicing at the end of Sanditon, which provides a bit of balm to our hearts while dealing withContinue Reading
Let’s start with the obvious. “She is an appalling old woman. But she holds the fate of Sanditon in her hands.” Tom Parker’s statement pretty much sums it up. The question remains, how did she end up this way? Jane Austen’s version of Lady Denham in the original Sanditon isContinue Reading
I am combining two hypochondriacs in one post because they are so similar they deserve to be together. It’s interesting to note that in Jane Austen’s original Sanditon another sibling named Susan is not in the television production. It must have been a creative decision on Andrew Davies’ part toContinue Reading
After writing about Tom Parker, it’s time to look at Mary Parker. Below are the clips from Jane Austen’s novel, Sanditon, and the peek given into Mary’s personality. And Mrs. Parker was as evidently a gentle, amiable, sweet-tempered woman, the properest wife in the world for a man of strongContinue Reading
Pictures have been released, and short snippets of personality qualities and backgrounds have been hinted at. We have a group of new men on the scene of Sanditon, which as far as I am concerned, will fill the gap of Theo James’ departure very well. I’m sure most of usContinue Reading
Gosh, where do you start with this guy? I suppose we can take a look at how Jane Austen created him in the first eleven chapters of Sanditon and then take it from there. Mr. Parker’s character and history were soon unfolded. All that he understood of himself, he readilyContinue Reading

Thank goodness for the light in the world! Yes, there’s a dark side to fandom, but there is also the bright side to fandom. In the case of Sanditon, it’s a cause, a victory, and rejoicing. Sanditon will rise from the ashes as sure as eggs are eggs. (Thomas Parker)Continue Reading
Years ago, I was sucked into the dark side of fandom, not by choice. I enjoyed Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “Phantom of the Opera” immensely, and started to visit fan forums, websites, and even started my own blog (this sounds familiar) to support the show and a podcast about it. IContinue Reading

Why are period dramas having a renaissance? We’re not sure, but we love it. Sanditon season 2’s synopsis reads, “Charlotte returns to the beautiful seaside resort and soon attracts the attention of not one, but two new men.” Release date: 20 March 2022 2022 best new TV showsContinue Reading
Sanditon is a very different kind of Austen adaptation. Because it’s based on her final, unfinished novel, writer Andrew Davies had the freedom to expand the original story beyond Austen’s original plot. In theory, that means a season two is possible, but until now, it’s been unclear if the costumeContinue Reading
Filming has been underway on Brean beach this week for a new series of popular ITV costume drama Sanditon. Film crews have been busy on a quiet section of Brean beach, filming scenes for the series, which is based on an unfinished novel by Jane Austen. The series was cancelledContinue Reading

PBS long-running anthology series Masterpiece has announced that hit drama Sanditon has been renewed for both a second and third season.
