Gentleman Jack recently returned for a second acclaimed season, once again following the fourth-wall breaking, real-life diarist and Yorkshire landowner\u00a0Anne Lister.<\/p>\n

Based on the\u00a0the real Anne Lister\u2019s diaries<\/a>, the BBC One period drama stars Suranne Jones and Sophie Rundle in the Gentleman Jack cast<\/a>, playing Anne Lister and wealthy heiress Ann Walker, respectively.<\/p>\n

At the end of the first season, the couple secretly exchanged vows, committing themselves to each other and combining their wealth and property.<\/p>\n

Penned by BAFTA winner Sally Wainwright and set in the 19th century, the second season focussed on the\u00a0dramatic return of Anne\u2019s scorned long-term lover Mariana Lawton (Lydia Leonard), who threatened to put the recently wedded couple\u2019s marital bliss to the test.<\/p>\n

But will the series be back for another run of episodes on BBC One?\u00a0Read on for everything you need to know about Gentleman Jack season 3.<\/p>\n

Will there be a third season of Gentleman Jack?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gentleman Jack was renewed by the BBC on 23rd May 2019 for a second series, but there\u2019s no word yet on whether the broadcaster will commission a third season. There is certainly enough of Anne\u2019s life and diaries still to adapt so fingers crossed, but we\u2019ll keep this page updated with any news.<\/p>\n

If the decision was solely up to the show\u2019s creator Sally Wainwright then it seems we would definitely be seeing a third season as she previously confirmed that she would \u201clike to go all the way to the end of [Anne\u2019s] life.\u201d<\/p>\n

However Wainwright explained that because of real-life events that saw (SPOILERS<\/strong>!) Anne Lister would die in 1840 at the age of 49, tackling that ending would be no mean feat.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cIt\u2019s quite a tricky thing to do, and I\u2019m worried people might get cross if I kill her off\u2026 that\u2019s a conversation I will have to have further down the line!\u201d<\/p>\n

Who will star in Gentleman Jack season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If the series does return then Suranne Jones (Vigil<\/a>) and Sophie Rundle (Peaky Blinders<\/a>) are likely to return to lead the cast as Anne Lister and Ann Walker respectively. Lydia Leonard (Ten Percent<\/a>) may also be back as Anne\u2019s ex-lover Mariana Lawton.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, other key characters including Marian Lister (Gemma Whelan), Lady Vere Hobart (Jodhi May), Elizabeth Sutherland (Katherine Kelly) and Captain George Sutherland (Derek Riddell) could all also return.<\/p>\n

In season 2, The Larkins\u2019<\/a> Joanna Scanlan also joined the cast as Isabella \u201cTib\u201d Norcliffe, Anne\u2019s \u201coutrageous former lover\u201d, so there\u2019s a good chance we\u2019d see her back too if the series returns.<\/p>\n

Is there a trailer for Gentleman Jack season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no trailer for Gentleman Jack season 3 as it hasn\u2019t yet been renewed for a third season. We\u2019ll keep this page updated with any relevant teasers, clips and trailers.<\/p>\n
