PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON SANDITON JANE AUSTEN COSTUME DRAMA THIRD AND FINAL SEASON WHICH AIRS NEXT MONTH ON PBS

 SANDITON SERIES 
THE FINAL SEASON IS HERE
Sanditon returns and ends March 19th
The stage is set for the last farewell and goodbye in the final season of SANDITON costume drama based on the unfinished book by Jane Austen! Who will get their happily-ever-after? Wedding bells are ringing in the third season, but you’ll have to watch to find out for whom. In the meantime, learn more about what lies ahead for Charlotte and other residents in season three, which fresh characters (and romantic prospects) arrive on the scene, how to watch the new season, and more. The series that originally started on British ITV, which later on cancelled it due to terrible ratings, and then moved over to PBS Masterpiece in USA, will premiere on Sunday, March 19th!
  IN THE CONCLUDING CHAPTER
An eager fiancé in tow, Charlotte returns to a now thriving Sanditon. It’s Georgiana’s 21st birthday, and while a lavish party awaits, an awkward reunion with Colbourne raises old feelings and new questions. It’s not all celebration for Georgiana, who is called on to meet a startling new challenge, but finds support from unlikely sources. Through it all, Charlotte and Georgiana bond over their dilemmas, as well as their resolve to forge their own destinies. In Sanditon Season 3, your invitation awaits for more grand parties, lovely friendships that stand the test of time and circumstances. But many surprises await on Sanditon’s shores — astonishing new alliances, ghosts from the past, and all the complications of love and life.

WHO WILL VISIT SANDITON?
The seaside resort of Sanditon boasts some familiar faces in Season 3 including Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams), heiress Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), Heywood’s fiancé Ralph Starling (Cal Brigden), and the mysterious Alexander Colbourne (Ben Lloyd-Hughes). Also back are Colbourne’s tomboyish young daughter, Leonora (Flora Mitchell), and his rebellious niece, Augusta (Eloise Webb), who falls for a questionable admirer. The tireless Parker family returns — Tom (Kris Marshall), wife Mary (Kate Ashfield) and brother Arthur (Turlough Convery) — as well as the town’s resident financier Lady Denham (Anne Reid) and Edward (Jack Fox), her double-dealing nephew. Lady Susan (Sophie Winkleman) also makes ahigh-society return to Sanditon. New visitors bring new and intriguing romantic possibilities. Lady Montrose (Emma Fielding) is determined to snare matches for her grown children: Lydia (Alice Orr-Ewing) and Lord Henry Montrose (Edward Davis). Rowleigh Pryce, (James Bolam) a crusty investor, shares an intriguing past with a Sanditon resident, and Samuel Colbourne, (Liam Garrigan) is a London attorney and eligible bachelor.

follow Kratos, the God of War, who, after exiling himself from his blood-soaked past in ancient Greece, hangs up his weapons forever in the Norse realm of Midgard. When his beloved wife dies, Kratos sets off on a dangerous journey with his estranged son to spread her ashes from the highest peak — his wife’s final wish. Kratos soon realizes the journey is an epic quest in disguise, one which will test the bonds between father and son, and force Kratos to battle new Gods and monsters for the fate of the world. 

   SANDITON SEASON 3   
ARRIVES IN MARCH TO PBS
The series will end next March
PBS Masterpiece has released first teaser from the third season of their historical costume drama SANDITON based on Jane Austen's final work. To air from March 19th, it will also be the finale of the whole series which stars Rose Williams as Charlotte Heywood, Cai Brigden as Ralph Starling, Ben Lloyd-Hughes as Alexander Colbourne, Edward Davis as Lord Montrose and Crystal Clarke as Georgiana Lambe. After Leo Suter and Theo James who left season one, the third season will no longer have the character of Esther, lady Babington, played by Charlotte Spencer and we are guessing Tom Weston Jones' character has left the town as well. Joining the series are several new characters that will surely bring drama, laughter, and romance along with them. Lady Montrose (Emma Fielding) is described as the quintessential Jane Austen mother figure, who arrives at Sanditon with one objective: matches for her children, Lydia and Henry. Lydia (Alice Orr-Ewing) is an independent young woman who is not as eager for a match as her mother. Lord Henry Montrose (Edward Davis) is described as charismatic and confident, but he holds a secret. Rowleigh Pryce (James Bolam) is a wealthy, curmudgeonly investor who is interested in teaming up with Tom Parker on the seaside resort's expansion. Their plans become complicated when Rowleigh runs into Lady Denham. Also new to Sanditon is Alexander's brother, Samuel Colbourne (Liam Garrigan), who is a lawyer and a charming bachelor.
