Sanditon fans were very disappointed when they heard leading actor Theo James who played Sidney had decided against returning for another series. Nevertheless, the ITV period drama is going to return for more episodes. So who is going to be joining the cast of Sanditon season two?

Who is joining the cast for Sanditon season 2? 

Alexander Colbourne – Ben Lloyd-Hughes

First, to be joining the cast is actor Ben Lloyd-Hughes who will be portraying Alexander Colbourne.

Little is known about the character so far and has been described as a “mysterious resident with a complex family history”.

Actor Lloyd-Hughes played Tsar Alexander in the BBC’s 2016 adaptation of War and Peace.

He has also been in Industry, Skins, The Hour, Personal Affairs and A Serial Killer’s Guide to Life.

Colonel Francis Lennox – Tom Weston-Jones

The role of Colonel Francis Lennox will be taken on by actor Tom Weston-Jones.

Francis is a “self-assured war hero” and the rival of Alexander in winning Charlotte Heywood’s affections.
