December 17, 2020 at 12:03 pm (4 years ago)PLEASE lobby for a second season to wrap up this lively story!! The producers assumed there would be one, and so left their audience (us) so very frustrated!

December 16, 2020 at 9:25 pm (4 years ago)Jane would be exceedingly unhappy with the ending depicted in the last episode of Sanditon. In her name and for all of the story’s followers, please produce a follow up to the first season, even if it is only a limited endeavor in terms of number of episodes. The more the better but there may understandably be constraints. Carry on!!!
