Gentleman Jack Season 2: Get First Photos, Scoop on Springtime Return
After a two-and-a-half year famine, Gentleman Jack fans are invited to feast on first photos (and some scoop) from Season 2 of the long-MIA HBO series.
Ahead of its Season 2 premiere (which is slated for something “this spring”), the historical drama/BBC One co-production from Sally Wainwright released a flurry of photos, of Suranne Jones as Anne Lister; Sophie Rundle as Anne Lister’s now wife, Ann Walker; Gemma Whelan as Marian Lister; and others.
Set in Yorkshire circa 1834, Gentleman Jack Season 2 — again using the real-life diaries of Anne Lister, part of which were written in code, as its source — finds all eyes on Anne and Ann Walker as they set up home together at Shibden Hall as wife and wife, determined to combine their estates and become a power couple. Anne’s entrepreneurial spirit frightens the locals as much as her unconventional love life and, with Halifax on the brink of revolution, her refusal to keep a low profile becomes provocative and dangerous.
The Season 2 cast also includes Gemma Jones (as Aunt Anne Lister), Timothy West (Jeremy Lister), Jodhi May (Lady Vere Cameron), Katherine Kelly (Elizabeth Sutherland), Derek Riddell (Captain George Sutherland), Stephanie Cole (Aunt Ann Walker), Peter Davison (William Priestley), Amelia Bullmore (Eliza Priestley), Vincent Franklin (Christopher Rawson), Shaun Dooley (Jeremiah Rawson), Rosie Cavaliero (Elizabeth Cordingley), Joe Armstrong (Samuel Washington), Anthony Flanagan (Ben Sowden) and George Costigan (James Holt).

Could’ve used more photos of Suranne Jones, though
Agree!
Added. Enjoy!
How about the one where she’s wearing the hat and walks through the field? Come on, man Suranne’s great why are you so dismissive towards her?
Not dismissive, the intent was simply to give a representative sample. Here is the photograph of which you spoke:

This show is great. Lead actress is very fun to watch.
“The Gilded Age” is set to end on March 21. So I’m hoping “sometime this spring” means late March.
I watch anything that Sally Wainwright is involved in whether it be in creating, writing or directing because it’s always good and worth the wait.
Didn’t realize there would be a second season. Looking forward to it.
I do hope Anne Lister will be climbing Vignemale in the second series? I’ve just finished a bronze sculpture of her doing just that!
About freaking time. Been looking forward to Season 2 for years! Would love if HBO reran Season 1 for a refresh on last season. And they should have had time to decifer Anne’s diary and plan for Season 3 and 4(fingers crossed).
This is such an amazing show I can’t wait for the new episodes to air.
Phenomenal characters that are Absolutely hilarious.
Great program thanks for the good news
Can’t wait to watch…I can’t imagine the headwind Ann must have faced
