Sanditon star Charlotte Spencer, who played Esther Babington, will not be returning for season 3.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Decider<\/a>, the Sanditon<\/a> showrunner Justin Young said that season 2 was \u201cthe end of Esther\u2019s story\u201d following the character\u2019s marriage to Lord Babington in the latest season.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Esther, where we leave her at the end of season 2, I think she\u2019s got everything she\u2019s ever wanted. She\u2019s happy, married, and now she has a child that she adores so I think that\u2019s the end of Esther\u2019s story as far as I\u2019m concerned,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always said with respect to this show, I think the way we built it is that, like a novel, I think we have to honour that characters have finite stories.<\/p>\n \u201cSo when their stories are done, rather than just having them in the kind of ensemble treading water, I\u2019d rather just say that\u2019s the end of their story and they move on and we bring new characters in.\u201d<\/p>\n More to follow\u2026<\/em><\/p> Looking for something else to watch?
