She also learns about threats to the resort\u2019s funding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger separating Charlotte and Sidney\u00a0 \u2013 and after it was announced that the show\u2019s cancellation was reversed, Theo James announced in May 2021 that he wouldn\u2019t return.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/TCDSAND_PB004.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Theo James as Sidney Parker in &quot;Sanditon.&quot; \" class=\"wp-image-21501150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/TCDSAND_PB004.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/TCDSAND_PB004.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/TCDSAND_PB004.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/TCDSAND_PB004.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Theo James as Sidney Parker isn\u2019t returning for Season 2 of \u201cSanditon.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">\u00a9PBS\/Courtesy Everett Collectio<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cHe never signed an option, so he was never obliged to come back, but we had talked about it.

So that\u2019s the fundamental reason why [he didn\u2019t return] and he was busy with other work,\u201d said Campbell, who\u2019s also the head of Drama at Red Planet (the production company behind the show).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of Austen\u2019s stories have a love interest, but they are primarily about the female protagonist. This is Charlotte Heywood\u2019s story. If Rose [Williams] hadn\u2019t come back, that would have been really problematic. So, I\u2019m not diminishing the loss of Theo, but it\u2019s her story. She\u2019s the girl who comes to this glamorous resort with plans to live a life less ordinary, and has this huge love affair with this person that makes a difference in her life. But that ends in heartbreak, as many first loves do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series<\/a> 2 and 3 are about that continuation of her journey as a young woman.
