Meet The Eligible Men of 'Sanditon' Season 2

Sanditon Season 2 won't arrive until spring of 2022, but the show is giving fans something to keep them warm all winter. With Theo James not returning to the program as Sidney Parker, Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) needs a new love interest. Moreover, her younger sister, Alison Heywood, will be introduced to start her own love story, so the show will need a bevy of eligible men to populate the series. The casting has already revealed that several will turn up, from a wealthy recluse to a flamboyant artist. But now fans are getting their first look at them, and it's an eyeful.

When Masterpiece announced the surprise return of Sanditon to the small screen after its 2019 cancelation doomed the series before it even aired over here, fans were over the moon to think the unresolved romance between Charlotte and Sidney might finally be resolved. But James' follow up that he would not be part of the returning cast dashed those hopes almost as soon as they were raised. But in keeping with the modernity of this Jane Austen-inspired series, Charlotte is coming back to Sanditon ready to move on.

And these look like a few men worth moving on for. Sorry Sidney Parker, but you're so pre-pandemic life. Let's look at some real men coming to the seaside resort this spring.
