Viewers haven\u2019t returned to the titular seaside town of Jane Austen\u2019s unfinished novel since season 1, which ended on a cliffhanger that seemed fated to be left unresolved after the show was cancelled.<\/p>\n
However, following an intense fan campaign to save Sanditon<\/a>, the drama series is returning for another instalment, reuniting viewers with spirited heroine Charlotte Heywood, whom we last saw at her lowest ebb following romantic disappointment.<\/p>\n Read on to learn how Sanditon ended in season 1, and which storylines will continue into season 2.<\/p> Near the end of Sanditon season 1, Sidney Parker confessed his feelings for our heroine\u00a0Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams), a young woman who arrived in seaside town Sanditon at the start of the season.<\/p>\n However, when an uninsured building belonging to Sidney\u2019s brother Tom Parker (Kris Marshall) burnt to the ground, Sidney made the difficult decision to wed wealthy heiress Eliza Campion (Ruth Kearney) instead of Charlotte, for the financial good of the Parker family and of Sanditon, in which Tom was invested.<\/p>\n Rejected by Sidney, we last saw a heartbroken and teary Charlotte in a carriage and on her way home to her family, leaving Sanditon and her friends there behind.<\/p>\n With such a cliffhanger ending, it\u2019s hardly surprising that fans were gutted when\u00a0Sanditon was cancelled<\/a>\u00a0by ITV after the first season. Luckily, however, it\u2019s now back for season 2 \u2013 although Theo James has bowed out of the series<\/a>, meaning Sidney Parker won\u2019t return to sweep Charlotte off her feet after all.<\/p>\n Charlotte will (of course) be making a surprise return to Sanditon at the start of season 2, and she\u2019ll be reunited with her friend Miss Georgiana\u00a0Lambe (Crystal Clarke), who was also thwarted in love during season 1, breaking things off with secret love Otis.<\/p>\n However, not everyone had an unhappy ending in store for them in season 1, after Esther Denham (Charlotte Spencer) wed the patient and reformed rake Lord Babington (Mark Stanley) in the season finale.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the official season 2 synopsis: \u201cThe drama will continue to follow the high-spirited and independent heroine, Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) as she returns to the picturesque coastal resort of Sanditon. Charlotte\u2019s journey is one thread of an intricate tapestry of compelling stories full of intrigue, excitement, and romance. Against the backdrop of beautiful vistas, familiar faces return and new inhabitants are introduced \u2013 all of whom will be having adventures as joyous and surprising as the seaside town itself.\u201d<\/p>\n The programme-makers added:\u00a0\u201cWhile Sidney Parker will not return, rest assured that an abundance of romance and adventure lies ahead for the Sanditon heroine. We can\u2019t wait for you to see what we have in store.\u201d<\/p>\n Sanditon debuts new episodes on BritBox from Sunday, 20th March \u2013 head to our <\/strong>Drama<\/a> hub for more reviews, news, and interviews, or check out what else is on with our TV guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
