It’s coming: Season 2 of Gentleman Jack is well and truly underway, the BBC has recently announced.
Doctor Foster’s Suranne Jones will once again be taking on the role of land owner Anne Lister for the second instalment of BBC One’s period drama.
The first series was inspired by Lister’s actual coded diaries and explored “the first modern lesbian’s” love life, including that with Ann Walker (Sophie Rundle).
