Period Drama 'Gentleman Jack' Canceled at HBO After Two Seasons
Sad news for Gentleman Jack fans: HBO has announced the critically acclaimed drama will not return for a third season.
The series, which premiered in 2019, starred Suranne Jones (Vigil) as Anne Lister, the 19th-century British landowner, intellectual, businesswoman, and prolific diarist who wrote extensive coded entries about her sexual trysts and relationships with women. Season 1 follows the story of Lister's love affair with neighboring heiress Ann Walker (Sophie Rundle), as well as her efforts to rebuild her ancestral home at Shibden Hall and revitalize the family coal mines.
Season 2 saw the two women set up house together at Shibden Hall as wife and wife, determined to combine their estates and become an early nineteenth-century power couple.
