Fans of Downton's string of "will they or won't they?" romances are sure to love (and be frustrated by) Sanditon, a loose adaptation of Jane Austen's final, unfinished novel. An unlikely series of events leads Charlotte Heywood to be the guest of the well-to-do Parker family one summer, where they are building their seaside town of Sanditon into a resort for the rich and titled. Charlotte clashes, of course, with Sidney, the more pragmatic and grumpy of the Parker brothers, but those clashing personalities soon turn into sparks of a different kind.
After being initially cancelled, Sanditon was shockingly renewed for a second season, but with a catch that Downton fans will find very familiar: one of the main cast members chose not to return.
