Sanditon series 3 comes to ITV this August

ITV has revealed its August highlights, and coming August 317 is Sanditon series 3. [UPDATED 12 Aug with correct date]

They give the basics:

Series three brings viewers back to the burgeoning seaside resort of Sanditon following the romances, friendships, and struggles of Charlotte (Rose Williams), Georgiana (Crystal Clarke), the Parker family and the Denhams. But will new visitors to the picturesque coastal town ruffle some feathers amongst our stalwarts of Sanditon?

I’m wondering just how they’ll write Charlotte out of her forthcoming marriage, and surely she’ll end up with Colbourne. I understand it was filmed back to back with series 2, so I expect a lot of continuity of characters. In terms of casts, the same article tells us:

Familiar faces return with Kris Marshall as determined town developer Tom Parker alongside Kate Ashfield as Mary Parker. Anne Reid’s tour de force Lady Denham is back, as well Jack Fox as Edward Denham and Turlough Convery as Arthur Parker. Season three sees Colbourne’s ward Augusta Markham played by Eloise Webb return, with Kevin Eldon as Reverend Hankins and Adrian Scarborough as Dr Fuchs.

Roll on August!
