When asked whether she had already begun writing Gentleman Jack<\/a>\u2018s third season before hearing the cancellation news, the BAFTA-winning writer told RadioTimes.com<\/a> in an exclusive interview that the remainder of Lister\u2019s diaries had been transcribed in preparation for new episodes.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve got the diaries transcribed and again \u2013 that\u2019s another legacy of the series,\u201d she said. \u201cThe entire diary has now been transcribed by the fans, by people who have been joining in the West Yorkshire Archive Service project to get the whole diary transcribed.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know, it\u2019s just a phenomenal achievement. It\u2019s 7,500 pages, it\u2019s 5 million words.\u201d<\/p>\n Wainwright added that while she hadn\u2019t yet read the diaries, she knew there were some exciting plot lines to explore.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have had the diary transcribed for a possible third series and, you know, I haven\u2019t read them all yet because I didn\u2019t want to tempt fate but I know a lot of what\u2019s in there and it\u2019s good stuff, it\u2019s juicy stuff, it would make great drama.<\/p>\n \u201cThe kind of thing you\u2019d love to see Suranne getting her laughing gear around as an actor, you know? It could be wonderful, but we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p> There\u2019s still hope for Gentleman Jack\u2019s future, with Wainwright saying that the BBC is \u201cup for\u201d renewing the show<\/a> but will need a new streaming partner to keep up the production value.<\/p>\n \u201cI think all those other options are being explored at the minute given that there is a desire to go on with it amongst quite a lot of people \u2013 the BBC, Lookout Point, myself, you know,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n The Happy Valley writer added that she originally planned for Gentleman Jack to last four seasons<\/a> and claimed that the \u201cbewildering\u201d cancellation was due to HBO budget cuts<\/a> as the channel is \u201cnot as interested in period drama\u201d anymore.<\/p>\n Looking for something else to watch?
