Alright folks! Here’s our time to shine!

For those of you who may not have heard, Sanditon has been cancelled by its original UK network, ITV. This means it’s up to American networks to pick the show up for a second season, or American fans to expand the fanbase enough for ITV to reconsider. In order to do this we’re going to have to make some noise and let ITV/PBS Masterpiece know the show it popular enough to warrant a second season.

From the writer and creator:

“We’d love to carry on with a second series and even more if there was an appetite for it. Because certainly the people in the UK who saw it, absolutely loved it. So it had some very passionate fans, but for ITV, we didn’t quite get enough numbers,” Davies said. “So we just hope it’s a big hit in the States and that it makes ITV reconsider.”

Decider asked if it was necessary for ITV to be involved in a renewal or if it was possible that PBS or another streaming service could pick it up independently, and Davies said, “Yes, it might be the latter, yes.” https://decider.com/2020/01/13/sanditon-season-2-andrew-davies-interview/

1. WORD OF MOUTH – tell your friends and family about the show! Get people to watch it, the more fans the better

If PBS for some reason rejects it then we can turn our efforts to focus on Amazon Prime and other streaming platforms, but for now I think PBS Masterpiece is our best shot at a renewal. They’re already pretty invested with an entire page on their site devoted to Sanditon - cast interviews, podcasts, videos and the like.
