The Latest 'Sanditon' Season 2 Trailer Hints at Romance and Scandal
With just over a month to go until period drama Sanditon returns for its highly anticipated second season, the marketing machine is cranking into high gear. (Not that, I expect, any of us are complaining.) PBS Masterpiece has released a second Season 2 teaser, featuring a dash of new footage and the promise of more romance and scandal in everyone's favorite seaside town.
Much like the first teaser for the series' return, this clip is also super brief---just 30 seconds once more---but it still manages to highlight how different the show will look in its second season. Star Rose Williams is back as heroine Charlotte Heywood, but it seems that the disastrous end of her relationship with Sidney Parker (Theo James) last season has soured her on the whole idea of romance. Where she was eager to find love in Season 1, this trailer shows us a cautious and slightly more jaded young woman. And, who can blame her, really? (It was a difficult break-up for all of us.)
Luckily, should Charlotte change her mind about love, it looks as though she'll have plenty of romantic options to choose from in Season 2, from dishy army colonel Francis Lennox (Tom Weston-Jones) as dynamic Colonel Francis Lennox to Bohemian artist Charles Lockhart (Alexander Vlahos), both of whom we catch brief glimpses of in this clip. And her starry-eyed younger sister Allison (Rosie Graham) seems confident enough in the power of love for them both.
“I have a plan for us both to find husbands here in Sanditon,” the younger Heywood daughter firmly tells her sister. And while Charlotte may protest that “love is not as simple as you seem to think," well. This is a Jane Austen story, after all.
The teaser also shows us what we must assume is Charlotte's reunion with bestie---and megarich heiress---Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), and gives us our first look at Esther (Charlotte Spencer) and Edward Denham (Jack Fox), whose relationship seems frostier than it ever has before.
