has appeared in <a href=\"&quot;\/tv\/fantasy\/the-witcher-season-2-release-date\/&quot;\">The Witcher<\/a> (as Young Vesemir) and starred in the movie Archive, alongside Toby Jones, Lia Williams and Stacy Martin. He is currently filming the part of Henry in The Time Traveler\u2019s Wife TV series, which presumably will keep him busy for quite some time; it\u2019s possible there was a filming clash with Sanditon.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2020, Belinda Campbell told <a href=\"\/\/www.vulture.com\/2020\/02\/sanditon-series-finale-charlotte-sidney-ending.html&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\">Vulture<\/a> in that Sidney and Charlotte would \u201cabsolutely\u201d get together in season two if the show was recommissioned.<\/p>\n<p>On the season 1 ending \u2013 which saw Sidney reject Charlotte, feeling it was his family duty to marry for money \u2013 she said: \u201cI take no satisfaction after the fact that a lot of people want that happily ever after. And we would love the opportunity to give it to them. Of <em>course\u00a0<\/em>Sidney is going to find a way around it! He\u2019s our hero!\u201d However, she also suggested that the season one finale was a satisfying place to leave the story, because \u201cwhilst it might not be a Jane Austen ending, it is the reality of how many love stories would\u2019ve ended. So there is a complete story arc there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sanditon season 2 plot<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s the official announcement: \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<p>We are also assured by the programme-makers:\u00a0\u201cWhile Sidney Parker will not return, rest assured that an abundance of romance &amp; adventure lies ahead for the Sanditon heroine. We can\u2019t wait for you to see what we have in store.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Davies, who originally created and led the series, will return to write several episodes and executive produce the drama. And Justin Young, who wrote four episodes of the first season, will step up to develop new seasons and take the role of lead writer and executive producer. Janice Okoh joins the show as a writer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How many seasons of Sanditon will there be?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So far, seasons 2 and 3 have been confirmed!
