Since you know I love seascapes, imagine how I feel about the cinematography in @sanditon_official? Wish I knew who the cinematographer was, because this scene is a painting come to life. #sanditon #sanditonpbs #pbsmasterpiece #gorgeousscenes #seascapes https://www.instagram.com/p/CqEVi7lLVKc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It seems I must add Sanditon to my watchlist.

Sanditon - Sanditon is a British historical drama television series adapted by Andrew Davies from an unfinished manuscript by Jane Austen

Just finished binge watching both seasons of Sanditon. Cleared a lot of space on my DVR. It seemed to me that it moved at a snails pace. I think all Jane Austen moves slowly, no one says what they mean or think. Jane beats around the bushes more than a Southerner & that's saying something. I liked season 1 well enough but they played a nasty trick with a character I really liked. Sidney had promise but it never took shape. Season 2 was strange & even though I watched it, I'm not watching it again.

PBS already has season 3 in the can & ready to go. Should be early 2023 according to the show info. I plan to take a look but the show really, really needs to step it up.

An open letter to the original Sanditon Sisterhood,

I have been in the Sanditon Fandom since the premiere of episode one all the way back in 2019 and I am very thankful for the Sanditon Sisterhood I have met along the way since 2019. I cherish these friendships more than anything as we have been through some rough emotional journey’s together. 🤍 While I only speak for myself, I fear after season two I no longer recognize the show, the main character Charlotte, and especially the fandom. The fandom growing was a true blessing at one time (ensuring the show was to continue on), but I am not sure that became the best option - and I say this as an avid campaigner for a continuation of Sanditon. It has been disheartening to see new arriving fans who were just recently introduced to the world of Sanditon disrespecting the character of Sidney, who once gave us so much (of course it’s fair to say took a lot away too), by suggesting that a new arriving actor/character is better than he ever was. This is simply not true and will never be true. I simply recognize the blessing it was to witness live the magic of Sanditon S1 and see Charlotte and Sidney’s relationship bloom (then unfortunately conclude). While at one point I was upset that Theo James left the show and for reasons at the time I didn’t agree with (ie. his comments on Jane Austen) I am beginning to see that maybe he was correct to leave the show when he may have saw the writing on the wall that the magic of Sanditon would no longer be honored within the scripts he received by the new showrunner. Season 2 had potential in episode one and it did excellent off the bat at honoring Sidney’s memory, yet the script did not improve. Charlotte lost her magic and the writers did not even care to give her closure from Sidney in the form of a letter from him - yet everyone else received something. We had been deceived into thinking the season would be unpredictable, open to any storylines they wanted, but instead they change the DNA of Sanditon to just another version of Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m not sure I can handle anymore disappointment related to Sanditon, as it only disturbs the great love I’ve always maintained for season one. I will be here for the fandom side of things and fan fiction and so forth but as of now I think I’ve made the decision to watch no more. Those of whom that disagree with my feelings and assessments will call me bitter, but I have to say that it would be true. I am bitter, but only because I care deeply about a show that helped me cope through a rough unpredictable college experience. Once again to the wonderful ladies that I met during the first season, y’all are the real ones! 🤍

#HEYBOURNE | More than I knew

I still cannot believe we got a Sanditon season 2 AND now a season 3 on the way. I'm still recovering! I knew from the first episode that these two needed to be endgame and I am counting down the days until we get to see their story continue. They have a loooonnng way to go 😅 

[professorpski]

Yes, have fun with some close looks at the clothes--did empire-waist dresses ever look nicer?--and discussion with the designer for this series which takes off from Jane Austen’s unfinished novels.

So Sanditon got renewed for a 2nd and 3rd season (yay) but Theo James won't return for them.

First of all... that's stupid. Also I heard he isn't coming back to sell socks or smth like that?? Anyways..

Goodbye Sidney Parker, my love, my smile. Farewell my beautiful man. You will forever stay in our hearts as your family's protector, Charlotte's big love and ours.

MASTERPIECE:

Jill S. of Huber Heights, OH asked, “Which are the moments when you felt like Charlotte was truest to herself?”

ROSE WILLIAMS:

When she’s voicing her real opinion—when she tells Colbourne on the cliff in Episode 3, “You’re too late.” When the truth just comes out like that. Or when—for better and for worse—in the very first ever episode, on the balcony when she’s just honest; those moments of honesty. Also, when the gun was in her hands, in the first ever scene. And when she is interacting with the kids. I think she really does love kids.

MASTERPIECE:

Dana R. from Brownsville, TX asked, “What’s a characteristic that you feel Charlotte has maintained from Season 1 through Season 3?”

ROSE WILLIAMS:

Her moral compass.

MASTERPIECE:

Antoinette S. asked, “When you portray a character as beloved as Charlotte, is it ever difficult for you to fully extricate yourself from a part and move on?”

ROSE WILLIAMS:

Yeah, 100%. I think for me it’s more that I didn’t go to drama school, I didn’t train, so I don’t have a method of just…I don’t know, I just try and do it. But what I find more difficult is merging with the character’s emotions. People might say that’s pretentious, me saying that, but it’s true. When I did a horror film, I was very psychologically affected. And when I did this one, I felt that spirit of transition—especially when you’re in every day, 12, 13, 14 hours, and you go home and you just crash and then you go back to it—without realizing, I think sometimes I accidentally take on emotions that I’ve created for the character and then I’ll go home with it. So that is a real thing that 100% happens.

MASTERPIECE:

Karen Hochberg asked how Ben Lloyd-Hughes and Rose Williams created such romantic tension, and Audrey N. from Taylorsville, UT expressed that, “Rose and Ben have a ton of chemistry. We fans love to analyze every single touch and look and nod. I’m curious just how much time and effort goes into making these small details really meaningful.”

ROSE WILLIAMS:

Because we were shooting the back-to-back seasons and all episodes at once, with two units, I was very much with my Filofax, attempting to make a very clear track and map of all of the moments of intimacy, so that it had a journey and so that it built up and it wasn’t too much too early, and when it had its climax, it had its climax. So just from memory, from doing this however many months ago, I really remember being like, okay: the emotions, they had to be different in each interaction—they had to have a different flavor. And sometimes you end up shooting the same day, a couple that are right next to each other but they have to be completely different in tone. So tracking them and then talking about it was really important. Jennie [Paddon, director] was great with details.

The hand touch at the opera performance, that was a very considered, curated. That wasn’t, “Oh, let’s get the hands,”—it was considered and communicated about. So my answer to the question is: a lot of planning and mapping it out and making sure that it built, and had a story, so we were all on the same road as that. But we were also good in the moment, me and Ben. There were a lot of moments that we were on completely on the same wavelength.

MASTERPIECE:

Ellen F. from Napa Valley, CA asked, “If you’d been able to choose a different Sanditon character to play, who would it be and why?”

ROSE WILLIAMS:

I think Esther. Esther’s such a good character, especially her arc across Season 2. But no one else could have played that other than Charlotte Spencer—that is her character 1000%. But I thought that she was a really deep woman.

MASTERPIECE:

Margaret J. from Albuquerque, NM asked, “Has your impression of wearing hats changed since filming Sanditon, and would you now be more or less likely to don a (currently in fashion) hat in your personal life?”, while TeriLu A. asked “how all the ladies kept those hats on their heads so securely given how windy it often was.”

ROSE WILLIAMS:

I love hats. I love bonnet, I love hats. I think hats bring drama, hats are underused, and a hat can make an outfit. Hats are very expressive and they tell a story. Especially in the Regency period, the bonnet is such a weird look. Because I had a wig on—I had blonde hair underneath this wig that was really pinned into my head—I was already quite strapped in with the wig, so the addition of the bobby pins really nailing a bonnet into my head didn’t make that much of a difference to the wig that was already quite nailed into the skull. But they really had to be hammered in with bobby pins because of the wind. If wind catches it from the front, you’re in trouble. And for continuity, it’s an absolute nightmare. If you stitch it too much or stick it down, then these bits will flap and it looks unnatural. It’s an art form dealing with the bonnets. But they give a very unique silhouette that immediately conjures the Regency period and Austen that you don’t need to know about from literature. Just from being a human and being around on the planet for 20 odd years, if you see the silhouette of a bonnet, you think Little Miss Muffet or you think Old Mother Hubbard, or you think Jane Austen or also, Bridgerton, now. So they evoke something. So I’m a big fan.

MASTERPIECE:

Among many others, Byron M. from Twin Falls, ID wanted to know what’s next for Rose. He shared, “My wife and I have fallen in love with Sanditon and Rose Williams. It has become our weekly joy to anticipate. Our question is, “What projects does she have planned for the future?”

ROSE WILLIAMS:

Well, it’s very opposite to Sanditon, but if you feel like watching a thriller, I just did a Netflix film, and it’s not very light. It was really fun—it’s a dark, sexy thriller inspired by late ’90s, early ’00s thrillers, and it’s set in this big manor house, with me and Famke Janssen. It is worlds apart from Sanditon, so only pay attention to it if they’re a fan of thrillers. There’s no tea and cakes in it! That’s the next thing that’s going to be out, but I don’t know when.

MASTERPIECE:

Sara R. from Santa Rosa, CA asked, “How do you feel about the overall journey of Sanditon from Season 1 to 3? Are you proud and satisfied with the production?”

ROSE WILLIAMS:

Yes, it’s really been an amazing experience that definitely expanded my horizons in a number of ways. Yes, amazing.
