Gentleman Jack season 2 plot: what's it going to be about?
"I'm utterly delighted that we've been recommissioned," said Wainwright in a BBC statement, "because there are so many more big, bold stories to tell about Anne Lister and Ann Walker."
We left them literally at the very start of their lives as a married couple, as they walk out of church having taken Communion together, a symbol to them of their unconventional (and legally impossible) marriage.
So married life would seem the obvious theme for series two.
"They move into Shibden [Hall] together in series two," Sally Wainwright told Digital Spy, "and it's about how they negotiate their married life, conspicuously in public, and how they deal with their detractors and the effect that has on their relationship as well… Obviously we've got season two, which is fantastic, and I hope it will continue on after that. There's no end of stories."
To RT, Wainwright added: "Even though Anne Lister seems like this absolute powerhouse with this iron will, Ann Walker had a real streak of stubbornness – and of course she had all the money. So there was a real interesting dynamic and a real interesting power dynamic between them, which I’m really looking forward to exploring a bit more fully."
In real life, the couple travelled extensively, so we could see more location shooting next time around. There's also the unresolved issue of the coalmine to address – will Anne finally get the better of the Rawson brothers, and will Vincent Franklin's repellant Christopher Rawson get his comeuppance?
