Gentleman Jack fans have urged the BBC and HBO to renew the show for a third seas✅on following its "emotional" season 2 fin♒ale.

Created by Happy Valley's Sally Wainwright, the Suranne Jones-led period drama centers on Yorkshire-based lesbian landowner Anne Lister, as she navigates rocky romances and male-dominated business ventures in the early𝔍 1800s.

The latest installment concluded in the UK📖 on Sunday (May 29), and viewers wasted no time taking to Twitter to share their reactions to the episode. Having essentially tied the knot at the end of season 1, mu💛ch of Gentleman Jack's second outing has focused on Anne and her new wife Ann Walker's efforts to divide their estates, much to the dismay of the latter's meddling brother-in-law Captain Sutherland – as well as Anne's complicated connection with her ex-lover, Mariana Lawton.

Elsewhere, the couple has faced money squabbles, their inability to start a family together, and a mocking marriage announcement in the local paper. So it's hardly surprising that fans were left in tears when se☂veral of those storylines came to a head yesterday evening.

"This series is a rollercoaster of emotions", , as : "My god, #ওSuranneJones is absolute perfection as #AnneLister I never want to see anyone else in the role. Shꦿe owns it. Magnificent. #RenewGentlemanJack."

"Already missing Gen𝓀tleman Jack so much. S3 ASAP," .

"That was such a good ep but I am actually sobbing" , while : "RIGHT WHERE’S THE SEASON𝔉 3 ANNO✃UNCEMENT?"

"I'veꦑ just shouted and bawled my eyes out throughout that bloody awesome episode," .

In 2019, BBC and HBO renewed Gentleman Jack♕ four weeks into its eight-week run in the US, and just four days after it had premiered in the UK. So the lack of a season 3 announcement has got fans worried that there may not be more to c🍃ome.

Their anxieties were exasperated when Jon꧙es and her fellow cast members Sophie Rundle, Lydia Leonard, Gemma Whelan over the weekend to share a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos and pay tribute to the show, reading their posts as potential goodbyes. As the tweets above suggest, though, there's still ho🍸pe.

Gentleman Jack season 2 is available to stream now on BBC iPlayer in the UK. It is set to wrap up in the US, on HBO Max, on June 13. While we wait to see if more episodes are on the horizon, check out our roundup of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best TV shows of all time and pad out your to-watch list.
