Gentleman Jack May Get Third Season Despite HBO's Cancellation
Gentleman Jack, but the BBC, a co-producer on the show, says there’s still a chance for another season.“HBO will not be moving forward with a third season of Gentleman Jack,” the network said in a statement to Deadline Thursday. “When we began this journey more than five years ago, we knew the series’ creator Sally Wainwright had a uniquely compelling vision, and it’s been tremendously gratifying to see how Anne Lister’s journey has resonated with viewers.
We are incredibly grateful to Sally, to the impeccable Suranne Jones and Sophie Rundle, and to the entire cast and crew for bringing Anne and Ann’s story to life.
We’d also like to thank our partners at BBC and Lookout Point for their collaboration on two remarkable seasons.”The show, which premiered in 2019, is based on the diaries of real-life British lesbian Anne Lister, a.k.a.
Gentleman Jack. Jones stars as Lister, a mountaineer, landowner, businesswoman, and prolific diarist who wrote coded entries about her sexual trysts and love affairs with women.
