Although Sanditon fans were delighted with the news that the show would be returning, they were also met with disappointment after Theo James, who played Sidney Parker in season one, confirmed that he would not be back for the new instalments. However, PBS has promised that "romance and adventure" lie ahead for Charlotte, so we can't wait to find out who she falls for next!
In a statement, Theo explained his decision not to return to the show, writing: "Although I relished playing Sidney, for me, I've always maintained that his journey concluded as I wanted it to. The broken fairytale-like ending between Charlotte and Sidney is different, unique and so interesting to me and I wish the cast and crew of Sanditon every success with future series."
