Season 2 of the PBS series finished on Apr. 24 with an episode that left its protagonist Charlotte (Rose Williams), at a fork in the path. Fortunately, viewers may relax knowing that the show will definitely return for another season. Here's all we know so far about Sanditon Season 3, including which main characters have been confirmed to return.
PBS confirms Sanditon Season 3
Sanditon is based on Jane Austen's unfinished novel. Charlotte Heywood travels to Sanditon, a seaside resort, where she meets aspiring entrepreneurs, miserly grand dames, and dashing gentlemen.
In Season 2 of Sanditon, Charlotte is still hurting over the death of her first love, Sidney Parker (Theo James). She is quickly sidetracked, however, by a job as a nanny for the reclusive Alexander Colbourne. They gradually develop a friendship and eventually fall in love.
We hear at the end of Sanditon Season 2 that Charlotte has returned home to her family's farm in Willingdon and accepted a proposal from local farmer Ralph (Cai Bridgen).
But how long will you have to wait for Sanditon Season 3, and who will (and who will not) return to the fictional Regency seaside resort?

The show has been renewed for a third season, which will broadcast sometime in 2023, according to PBS.
Fans will have to wait and watch how Charlotte goes ahead following the disappointments of Season 2. However, in an interview with PBS, Williams stated that her character will become more comfortable with herself in subsequent episodes of the show.
