About the Show

Sanditon tells the story of Charlotte Heywood, a spirited and somewhat impulsive young woman who travels from her rural English home to the up-and-coming seaside resort town of Sanditon to reinvent herself. The show is a lavish Regency era drama with gorgeous period detail and packed with considerable romance and intrigue. For period drama fans, Sanditon became must-see TV, with Salon calling it “a balmy retreat” and Indiewire dubbing it “perfect escapist fare.”

Sanditon is based on Jane Austen’s final and unfinished novel and its television debut was created by Emmy® award-winning screenwriter Andrew Davies.

The ensemble cast includes Rose Williams (Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris) as Austen heroine Charlotte Heywood, Crystal Clarke (Ordeal by Innocence) as heiress Georgianna Lambe, Anne Reid (Last Tango in Halifax) as haughty Lady Denham, Jack Fox (Riveria) as conniving Edward Denham, Charlotte Spencer (Misbehavior) as Esther Denham, Kris Marshall (Death in Paradise, Love Actually) as determined entrepreneur Tom Parker, Kate Ashfield (Shaun of the Dead) as Mary Parker, Turlough Convery (Killing Eve) as Arthur Parker, Theo James (White Lotus, Downton Abbey) as Rose’s first love, Sidney Parker, Lily Sacofsky (World on Fire, Bancroft) as beleaguered Clara Brereton, Leo Suter (Victoria, Beecham House,) as laborer Young Stringer, and Ben Lloyd-Hughes (The Crown) as brooding Alexander Colbourne, among many others.
