Gentleman Jack is centred on Suranne’s character Anne and her love Ann Walker, played by Sophie Rundle, in the BBC period drama.
The series is set in Yorkshire in 1834 and is based on the real life diaries of English landowner and diarist Lister.
The new episodes will see the protagonist and her love interest live together at Shibden Hall as wife and wife.
