What to expect from the ‘Sanditon’ Season 2 premiere
Sanditon Season 2 picks up roughly a year after the events of season 1. After enduring a heartbreaking end to her relationship with Sidney Parker (Theo James) in the season 1 finale, Charlotte (Rose Williams) has returned to the seaside resort town for another season. This time, she’s accompanied by her romantic younger sister, Alison (Rose Graham). Both young women, along with Charlotte’s friend Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), navigate complicated matters of the heart during their time in Sanditon, which is also made more exciting by the arrival of a military regiment in the area.
Here’s the full season 2 premiere episode description from PBS:
Charlotte returns to Sanditon in unexpected circumstances. A company of Army officers descends on the town, offering romantic opportunities for Charlotte and her sister and business opportunities for Tom (Kris Marshall). Meanwhile, Georgiana meets an intriguing artist and Esther Babington (Charlotte Spencer) has an unwanted encounter with someone from her past.
