It’s been quite some time since Suranne Jones was seen onscreen as Anne Lister in HBO‘s Gentleman Jack, but the show is gearing up for Season 2 this spring.
According to HBO, the show set in 1832 West Yorkshire, England will officially return to television after three long years offscreen sometime this spring, and they’re teasing the premiere with several first look photos. Debuting back in 2019, Gentleman Jack‘s eight-episode first season told the true story inspired by the coded journals of Anne Lister.

Following her attempt to revitalize her inherited home of Shibden Hall, the series chronicles her plan which includes helping the fate of her own family by taking a wife. An unlikely love story, Season 1 followed her intentions to marry wealthy heiress Ann Walker (Sophie Rundle).

And the new photos are teasing their return alongside other fan-favorite characters. As viewers may recall, Season 1 concluded with Anne Lister and Ann Walker taking the sacrament of marriage and planning to settle down at Shibden.
Along with Jones and Rundle, Gentleman Jack‘s first season featured stars Gemma Whelan as Anne’s sister Marian, Timothy West as their father Jeremy Lister, and Gemma Jones as their aunt Anne Lister. In the preview photos, Whelan reprises her role as Marian.
No exact premiere date has been set at this time, but the first look photos are certainly a sweet treat for fans of this acclaimed series. Stay tuned for more news on the premiere, cast, trailers, and more as we head into spring.
