So, when is the second season releasing? What is the plot? Who would return to reprise their roles? Keep reading to know further details.
Gentleman Jack Plot and Cast
Sally Wainwright has revealed in an interview with Digital Spy that the new season would be about Anne and Ann’s relationship progressing and the content of Anne’s diaries would continue to inspire the plot. She said,
“They move into Shibden together in series 2 and it’s about how they negotiate their married life, conspicuously in public, and how they deal with their detractors and the effect that has on their relationship as well. There’s no end of stories, the diaries, this huge wealth of knowledge.”
If the show sticks with the couple’s real life story, we can expect them to travel around more. In terms of storylines from Season 1, audiences would love to know if Anne gets the better of the Rawson brothers.
Coming to the cast, we might get to see Suranne Jones, Sophie Rundle, Joe Armstrong, Amelia Bullmore, Rosie Cavaliero, Gemma Whelan, Gemma Jones, Timothy West and Tom Lewis in the lead roles.
