Gentleman Jack is back! Well, almost.

HBO announced that the highly anticipated second season of the popular period drama would finally hit our screens in April, nearly three years after its first aired.

Gentleman Jack centers on Anne Lister, a 19th-century British landowner, intellectual, lesbian, and all-around unorthodox woman who was wildly ahead of her time in many respects. The series is largely based on Lister's real-life diaries, in which she wrote hundreds of thousands of words---much of it in an elaborate code to disguise all the racy bits about her sexual exploits with women.
