A period-drama adaptation of Jane Austen's final novel, written only months before her death in 1817, features Rose Williams and Theo James as the lead characters of Charlotte Heywood and Sidney Parker. The story follows Charlotte as she moves to the quiet fishing village of Sanditon for a fresh start, only to meet Sidney, a charming man who has ambitions to turn the tranquil seaside residence into a luxury resort. Written by Emmy and BAFTA award-winning screenwriter Andrew Davies.

James Jackson The Times (UK) 07/22/2022
... A light, traditional whirl through a familiar Austen world, but given a welcome shot of acid by Anne Reid’s acerbic Lady Denham. Go to Full Review

Sanditon is designed to be a balmy retreat where everything is easy on the eyes, and where abandoning your cares is the point. Like the cliffs around the town, this latest stroll has a few trips and bumps, but is never unendurable. Go to Full Review

When it stopped apologising for what it was not – neither Austen redux nor a postmodern costumer – Sanditon found its voice and occasionally took wing. Go to Full Review

Fortunately, the cast keeps things moving, even when melodrama threatens to take over... Go to Full Review

Let’s hope Season 3 improves, but much as it pains me to say, I wonder if they’d have been better off quitting while they were ahead. Go to Full Review

Andrei D @RT74856639 09/24/2024 Manages to hold tension high despite the very traditional formula See more Michelle L @RT29100874 04/14/2024 Wasn’t sure after season one ending and Sydney not being in it anymore if I’d like it anymore but it actually got better! Loved charlotte and Alexander! See more Maureen P @RT16742555 06/07/2023 Loved this period piece. Dialog wonderful as well as costumes. Amazing actors. See more Sue D @RT40967870 05/18/2023 I loved both series 2 and 3! In this series, Charlotte and Colbourne meet and the heat and confusion begin. Charlotte's sister, looking for a husband in Sanditon, ends up marrying someone she never thought she would. Georgiana, fighting off fortunehunters, ends up being wooed by an Artist and gets enlightened in the end. As I said for series 3, the casting was outstanding for Sanditon. The storylines were suspenseful, romantic, entertaining and one, maybe two, were evil. I'm addicted to Sanditon and I really hope it will not be over. So many stories can continue. They would be interesting and entertaining. See my thoughts on Series 3. See more AnnaMarie K @RT03045133 05/14/2023 This show is a beautiful story with vivid characters that are so relatable. Jane Austen's final, unfinished work was brought to life beautifully by all involved. And the chemistry between Rose Williams as Charlotte and Ben Lloyd-Hughes as Alexander was off the CHARTS. The entire cast was on point, the music, cinematography, scenery, scripts, etc...everything was truly remarkable. For anyone seeing this who wants more Sanditon, join us at Beyond Sanditon on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube! We have an active campaign for more Sanditon! We would love for you to join us! The world needs more of this show! There is so little good content in the world now, so to have a show that is wholesome and that leaves the audience wanting more is so rare! See more Sandra R @Sandee96 05/12/2023 This season found many changes from the first episode. A main character has died and the lead character has returned with her younger sister in tow. A regiment of soldiers have taken up residence with lots of their own secrets and scandals. Every episode was a nail biter. So much intrigue and excitement happening that it was hard at times to keep up. Overall, truly excellent and honestly much better than the first season. They really upped their games on this one.
