SANDITON

Final Season Premieres Sunday, March 19 at 9 PM

Sanditon will premiere its third and final season Sunday, March 19 at 9 PM, but MASTERPIECE promises just as much excitement as the series ends.

Described by The New York Times as “lush and fun” among its many good reviews, Sanditon was first inspired by Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel and adapted and created by Emmy® award-winning screenwriter Andrew Davies.

Susanne Simpson, Executive Producer of MASTERPIECE says, “Sanditon has been an incredibly special series for MASTERPIECE, and we know it has found its way into the hearts of countless fans. While we are sad to say goodbye to the series, we know our audience has a lot to look forward to in this new season.”

Set at an English seaside resort in the early 1800s, season three of Sanditon features returning characters Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams), Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), Alexander Colbourne (Ben Lloyd-Hughes), Tom Parker (Kris Marshall), Mary Parker (Kate Ashfield), Lady Denham (Anne Reid), Edward Denham (Jack Fox), and many other beloved residents.

Joining the series are several new characters that will bring drama, laughter and romance along with them.

Lady Montrose (Emma Fielding, Van der Valk) is the quintessential Austen mother –she arrives in Sanditon with one objective: matches for her children, Lydia and Henry. Lydia (Alice Orr Ewing, A Very English Scandal) is an independent young woman who is not as eager for a match as her mother. Lord Henry Montrose (Edward Davis, Emma) is charismatic and confident, and he holds a secret.

Rowleigh Pryce (James Bolam, New Tricks) is a wealthy, curmudgeonly investor who is interested in teaming up with Tom Parker on the seaside resort’s expansion. Their plans become complicated when Rowleigh runs into Lady Denham. Also new to Sanditon is Alexander’s brother, Samuel Colbourne (Liam Garrigan, Cobra) – a lawyer and charming bachelor.
