PBS and WGBH’s Masterpiece released the trailer for the highly anticipated second season of “Sanditon” on Thursday. Inspired by Jane Austen’s unfinished novel, the historical drama tells the story of Charlotte Heywood, a high-spirited young woman who happens upon the seaside town of Sanditon during a time of social change, and becomes intrigued by the town’s inhabitants and their secrets.The first season of the fan-favorite British series ended on a giant cliffhanger in early 2020, and having been canceled in the UK by ITV, it wasn’t clear if anything would ever be resolved.
But following fan outcry and the successful run on “Masterpiece,” the show was revived and ordered for a second and third season last year. But change is afoot, and the second season is sure to resolve some fans’ mixed reactions — while creating new drama.

She came out as gay, and basically told me and everybody online that the parents’ response was, ‘Well, death would be better.’ We were all so angry about that, because how could you say that to your daughter no matter who she wants to kiss? It doesn’t matter.”Hale called the resulting song “an anthem for her” – without specifying which track on the new album the story referenced – and added: “We all have something. We all have something unique about us, not everybody is going to understand.”In a press release for the new record, Hale described the collection of songs as “a journey of navigating mental health, debauchery, survival, redemption, rediscovery and still maintaining faith in humanity.” Listen to new single ‘The Steeple’ below.‘Back From The Dead’ is due May 6, 2022, and is available to pre-order and pre-save on multiple formats here.‘Back From The Dead’ tracklist:01. ‘Wicked Ways’02. ‘Strange Girl’03. ‘Brightside’04. ‘The Steeple’05. ‘Terrible Things’06. ‘My Redemption’07. ‘Bombshell’08. ‘I Come First’09. ‘Psycho Crazy’10. ‘Raise Your Horns’Halestorm are also set to kick off their UK
