BBC AND PBS TO DO MISS AUSTEN RETURNS SERIES A FOLLOW UP TO MISS AUSTEN WITH KEELEY HAWES

  MISS AUSTEN RETURNS  

 A FOLLOW UP TO MISS AUSTEN TV SERIES

The same team will do the follow up

BBC and PBS are set to do a follow up series to their Miss Austen titled MISS AUSTEN RETURNS based on Gill Hornby's The Elopement novel. Keeley Hawes will probably return as Cassandra, Jane's sister in  the true story that happens later on from Miss Austen, around the 1820s, and within a wing of the family that involves Cassandra, as Deadline writes. But the past-tense years that the series will focus on will be ones that were highly creative for Jane when her novels were actually being published. Cassandra is carrying the flame in the present-tense part, and rather than burning letters and looking after Jane’s privacy as in the first series, this will be about an interpretation of Jane’s meaning and value.
