PBS Period Drama 'Sanditon' Will End With Its Third Season

All good things must come to an end. Masterpiece has announced that the third season of its popular period drama Sanditon will be the series' last, bringing an end to the show's dramatic reversals of fortune that have seen it canceled, revived for a surprise additional pair of seasons, and now concluded over the past few years.

Inspired by Jane Austen's final, unfinished novel, the series follows the story of heroine Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams)'s romantic adventures in the eponymous seaside resort town. From building a friendship with wealthy heiress Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke) to navigating various personal relationship heartbreaks and attempting to forge her own future on her own terms, her story has been both a moving and entertaining one. How it will ultimately end is a question that only Season 3 can answer, but at least the series is getting the chance to go out on its own terms and give the many characters we've come to care about a proper farewell.

“Sanditon has been an incredibly special series for Masterpiece, and we know it has found its way into the hearts of countless fans,” said Susanne Simpson, Masterpiece Executive Producer. “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.”
