Keeley Hawes led the cast of the latter as Jane Austen's sister Cassandra and it's now been confirmed (via Deadline) that PBS are working away to develop a second season of the period drama.
Their sisterhood is at the heart of the tale as we uncover the reimagined history around just why Cassandra chose to burn her sister's letters, something that has been widely speculated on for some time.
At the time of the release of Miss Austen, Hawes told RadioTimes.com and other press at a screening for the series: "I think people will love it, because for anyone who is not aware of this backstory, it’s almost like we are getting a new Jane Austen story in itself, and what a lovely surprise that is."
Andrea Gibb is also set to pen the second season, having written the first but as for casting, that remains to be seen. Seeing as the new season will focus on a different character, we don't know just yet whether or not Hawes will be heading up the drama again.

As society’s pressures mount, the Bennet sisters navigate the glittering yet precarious world of Regency England, where marriage is both aspiration and necessity.
"While her sisters pursue romance and social triumph, Mary embarks on a very different path. Leaving Longbourn behind, she travels to London to live with her aunt and uncle, Mr and Mrs Gardiner, in their elegant home on Gracechurch Street. There, Mary begins a journey of self-discovery, stepping out of the shadows and into her own story."
The Other Bennet Sister is coming soon to BBC One and iPlayer and Miss Austen is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
