That was the last thing I thought would happen. As far as I was concerned, it was a really popular, successful show. People love it and it has an effect on people so I was really surprised.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know whether it was [due to] COVID because it obviously made it more expensive and [caused] a delay between the series. This is just me, not the facts. I just don\u2019t know, I\u2019m very surprised as we all were.\u201d<\/p>\n Written and created by Sally Wainwright, Gentleman Jack was based on the real-life diaries on Anne Lister, who wrote about her lesbian relationships in secret code, and was a co-production between the BBC and HBO.<\/p> HBO confirmed to Deadline on Friday last week that it would not be moving forward with Gentleman Jack\u2019s third season, however the BBC said in a statement that it was \u201cin discussions\u201d with Wainwright about \u201cwhat\u2019s next\u201d.<\/p>\n The series, which first aired in April 2019, received two BAFTA nominations in 2020 and won a Royal Television Society Award for Best Drama Series.<\/p>\n The South Bank Sky Arts Awards 2022 air on Wednesday 13th July at 10pm on Sky Arts.
