Masterpiece Confirms the 'Sanditon' Season 2 Cast

Masterpiece has confirmed that Sanditon Season 2 has begun production with a press release revealing the show's new and returning cast, the series synopsis, and a few hints of where the story will go from here. The good news is that most of the Season 1 cast is slated to return for the revived series. The better news is that the new faces promise new adventures and romance.

As announced previously, Rose Williams will return to the series as Charlotte Heywood. But her former love interest, Theo James' Sidney Parker, won't be. James' absence left fans wondering just how many characters from the original series would return. Crystal Clarke (Georgiana Lambe) suggested she would, and Jack Fox (Edward Denham) posted a photo from the first table read.

But it turns out that we'll be seeing several familiar Sanditon residents in Season 2. Anne Reid (Lady Denham), Charlotte Spencer (Esther Denham), Lily Sacofsky (Clara Brereton), Kris Marshall (Tom Parker), Kate Ashfield (Mary Parker), and Turlough Convery (Arthur Parker) are all headed back to the seaside. Also returning in more minor roles: Kevin Eldon (Mr. Hankins) and Adrian Scarborough (Dr. Fuchs).
