Sanditon
“There’s no better place to fall in love.”
CreatorAndrew Davies
Charlotte Heywood trades quiet country life for the ambitious chaos of Sanditon, a struggling coastal town betting everything on becoming England's next fashionable resort. Adapted from Jane Austen's final, unfinished novel, the series imagines the romance, rivalry and reinvention Austen never got to write, anchored by Charlotte's sharp wit and refusal to play by Regency rules. Across three seasons it builds a whole town's worth of ambition, scandal and courtship on the Sussex coast.
