Sanditon will rise from the dead … again
Mike Hughes
It’s a tale that vanished with Jane Austen’s death in 1817. It returned more than two centuries later with a lush PBS mini-series … then was abruptly canceled after its first season. Now, more than a year later, comes the surprising news that second and third seasons will eventually be produced.
Such turnarounds are fairly rare but do happen. Recently, two shows canceled by ABC (“Last Man Standing” and “Kids Say the Darndest Things”) were picked up by Fox and CBS, respectively. Netflix has given some shows a new life … and a coalition of CBS and Pop gave “One Day at a Time” an extra season (shortened by COVID) when Netflix dropped it.
