Sidney’s brother’s new building project burns down in a terrible fire, all of Sanditon becomes financially uncertain, and Sidney has to marry a rich heiress in order to save his family. Except in the final episode of the series … they do not. Sanditon introduces a delicious cast of supporting characters, including Miss Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), the first significant person of color in an Austen work, and Miss Lambe’s incredibly hunky caretaker, Sidney Parker (Theo James).īy the end of Sanditon, Sidney and Charlotte are destined to fall in love and get married. It’s a story about a young woman named Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) who leaves her small, sheltered home to stay with friends in an up-and-coming seaside resort town. ![]() Originally a production for the U.K.’s iTV, Sanditon is an adaptation of Jane Austen’s last, unfinished novel. The beautiful and well-wrought PBS Masterpiece miniseries Sanditon has an infuriating ending. Could these two still get the Austenian ending they (and we) deserve? Only if there’s a season two. ![]()
