Gentleman
Jack season 2 release date: when can we see it?
No air date
has been announced yet, but if BBC One wants to follow the pattern it set with
the first then the second series will most likely arrive in the summer. Given
the show's popularity – and the demands on Happy Valley writer Wainwright's
time – 2021 is most likely, though a 2020 autumn release isn't outside the
bound of possibility given how quickly the show was renewed.
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?
Not to
mention that significant look that came over Sam Washington when he learned
that Tom's uncle couldn't write – and therefore couldn't have written to tell
the other Sowdens that his (totally murdered and fed to pigs) brother had
"gone to America".
