The historical drama premiered on ITV in the United Kingdom on August 25, 2019. Following that, it debuted on PBS in the United States on January 12, 2020. The show has amassed a significant fan base during its two seasons, owing to its compelling narrative full of twists and turns, as well as the nuanced performances of the cast members. They are eager to learn when they will be able to experience the adventures of their favorite characters for the third time, especially following the thrilling conclusion of Season 2.

Season 2 of ‘Sanditon’ premiered on PBS on March 20, 2022. The sophomore season ended on April 24, 2022, with six episodes of around 52 minutes each.

Here’s what we know about the series’ third installment. Fans can celebrate as the show’s creators have confirmed that it will return for a third season in May 2021.

Seasons 2 and 3 of #SanditonPBS will return to complete Charlotte’s adventure through life and love. While Sidney Parker will not be returning, the Sanditon heroine will have plenty of romance and adventure ahead of her. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve got in store…

Furthermore, because the Covid-19 limits on film and TV production have been slightly relaxed, the production procedure for the show’s third installment may be faster. If all goes as planned, the third season of ‘Sanditon’ will be released in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Who could appear in Sanditon Season 3?

The majority of the main cast members are likely to return in season 3, including Rose Williams and Crystal Clarke, who play Charlotte Heywood and Georgiana Lambe, respectively, on the show. Ben Lloyd-Hughes (Alexander Colbourne), Charlotte Spencer (Esther Babington), Jack Fox (Edward Denham), and Anne Reid are also scheduled to return (Lady Denham). Kris Marshall (Tom), Turlough Convery (Arthur), Kate Ashfield (Mary), Sandy McDade (Miss Hankins), Cai Brigden (Ralph), Eloise Webb (Augusta), and Flora Mitchell (Leonora) are also expected to return.

However, it is unknown whether Rosie Graham (Alison), Frank Blake (Captain Fraser), Alexander Vlahos (Charles Lockhart), and Lily Sacofsky (Clara) will return for the current season, given their story arcs have seemingly completed. Furthermore, Tom Weston-Jones and Maxim Ays, who played Colonel Lennox and Captain Carter, are unlikely to reprise their roles. Aside from them, new faces will appear in the cast list to introduce new characters into the tale.

What is the plot of Sanditon Season 3?

Charlotte returns to Sanditon with her sister Alison after learning of Sidney’s death in Antigua in the second season. She concentrates on her new position as governess to widower Alexander Colbourne’s daughter Leonora and niece Augusta. Despite her decision to avoid males, she attracts the interest of both her employer and Colonel Lennox, who arrives with his soldiers to camp in Sanditon.

Elsewhere, Georgiana and Charles Lockhart, an artist visiting town in quest of a muse, strike up a romance. Meanwhile, Alison develops feelings for the gorgeous Captain Carter, unaware that he is not who he seems to be. Captain Fraser, on the other hand, struggles for her devotion and discreetly assists him in wooing her.

Edward Denham returns to town as a soldier, pretending to be a changed man in front of his aunt and Esther, who is having reproductive issues. Things become much more complex when Clara shows up pregnant with his child. As a result, Edward joins forces with Clara to steal Lady Denham’s legacy by proving Esther insane. But when Esther assists Clara with childbirth and the care of her newborn son, the latter changes her mind and exposes Edward’s vileness to everyone.

As the season comes to a close, Charlotte realizes how Colonel Lennox harmed Alexander in the past and decides to be with him. He breaks her heart, though, by rejecting her because he is afraid of hurting her. Alison rejects Captain Carter because of his deceit and discovers her feelings for Captain Fraser. Furthermore, Georgiana is surprised to learn that Charles is the guy who sued her for her inheritance and that her mother is still alive. Finally, Tom outwits Colonel Lennox, and the army departs Sanditon. Charlotte announces her engagement to Ralph two months later, and Alexander departs for London.

Season 3 will most likely expand on the sophomore round’s stunning finale. It might be about Charlotte and Alexander finding their way back to each other in the midst of her betrothal to another guy. It could also look into Esther’s new obligations as George’s guardian, as well as the Parkers’ efforts to help Georgiana find her mother. Finally, Edward may try to seize his aunt’s fortune once more, so it will be interesting to see how she handles him. Furthermore, when the show returns, expect to see many more intriguing story arcs.
