But the Jane Austen Society is not happy. The custodians of everything about the great
English novelist have said Sanditon would have no claim to Jane Austen in a second series.
Asked if Bridgerton would influence the amount of sex in Sanditon, Maureen Stiller, the society s honorary secretary, said: Since neither a prospective second series of Sanditon nor Bridgerton can claim any connection whatsoever with Jane Austen s writings, I think in those circumstances the programme commissioners are better placed than the Jane Austen Society to determine what their audience s taste is likely to be for either.
But, she was asked, would the society approve of a second Sanditon season?
