Gentleman Jack season 2 start date
Sally Wainwright’s award-winning hit Gentleman Jack is returning for its second season next month.
The BBC has announced that the series will make its long-awaited comeback on Sunday April 10 at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
We last saw Gentleman Jack on our screens at the end of season 1 in July 2019.
In that episode, Anne Lister made the difficult decision to leave behind her new lifestyle in Denmark following difficult news from Shibden.
To mark the exciting news about Gentleman Jack season 2, the BBC has released two new images.
They show Suranne Jones, Sophie Rundle and Lydia Leonard in character as Anne Lister, Ann Walker and Mariana Lawton.
What is Gentleman Jack season 2 about?
Gentleman Jack season 2 is set in Yorkshire in 1834.
All eyes are on Anne Lister and Ann Walker as they set up home together at Shibden Hall as wife and wife.
The pair are determined to combine their estates and become a power couple.
Anne Lister’s entrepreneurial spirit frightens the locals as much as her unconventional love life.
And, with Halifax on the brink of revolution, her refusal to keep a low profile becomes provocative and dangerous.
Series 2 will again use the real life diaries of real life “first modern lesbian” Anne Lister – part of which were written in code – as its source.
Every part of Lister’s story based in historical fact and the five million words she wrote in her journals.
