There’s a lot we could point to as proof that the “Bridgerton effect” is real, but SanditonPerhaps the best evidence is PBS. The show, which was based on an unfinished Jane Austen book, aired its first time on U.K. channel ITV late summer 2019. However, it failed to find an audience. It was December, one month before its U.S. premiere. SanditonThe show was cancelled. “We would have loved it to return, but unfortunately we just didn’t get the audience that would make that possible for us, which is heartbreaking for everybody involved in this wonderful adaptation,” said an ITV spokesperson at the time.

Sanditon season two returned on Sunday, March 20—the same week as Bridgerton‘s season-two premiere, it’s worth noting—and I think viewers will be happy with the outcome of their fan-led campaign. One major disappointment is Page. BridgertonJames has made the choice to not returnas the brooding hero. Season two’s premiere reveals that his character has been killed. Therefore, it seems unlikely that he will reconsider his decision for season three.
Although his absence is obvious, it creates a conflict that helps strengthen the show. It’s fascinating to watch Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams), struggle with her grief and grow stronger and more naive about the world. As she questions her place in the world, it leads her down unexpected paths—and toward two new love interests. It’s darker and moodier than what you’d find in Austen’s novels, and the many adaptations of them. Without giving any spoilers, it’s clear that Charlotte Brontë’s Jane EyreCharlotte’s journey became a major inspiration thanks to her.
