Suranne Jones has been spotted filming new episodes of Gentleman Jack, as production on season two steps up.

The actress stepped out in character as Anne Lister wearing period costume, complete with a distinctive top hat and bodice.

The new pictures show her joined by co-stars Timothy West and Gemma Whelan at Shibden Hall in Yorkshire.

Timothy and Gemma, who play Jeremy Lister and Marian Lister on the show respectively, were seen in the back of a horse-drawn carriage on location.

After a long time away, the period drama is drawing closer. It comes just a week after Suranne was spotted filming new scenes in the snow on the Yorkshire Moors.

It’s been two years since the first series ended, and there are still plenty of unanswered questions for fans to ponder.

The series from Last Tango in Halifax and Happy Valley creator Sally Wainwright focuses on landowner Anne (Suranne), who in the first series entered into a romance with another woman.

Gentleman Jack, based on the true story of real-life diarist Anne Lister, is set in Yorkshire in the 1830s. In season two, the drama’s two heroines move in together at Shibden Hall and embark on a new life together.

The second chapter of Gentleman Jack was confirmed back in May 2020, with Suranne saying at the time: ‘I’m so thrilled that I will be joining Sally Wainwright on the second part of Anne’s journey.

‘We always dreamed there would be more and now we get to play it all out.’

The show began filming new episodes in early November 2020. Gentleman Jack series two has yet to receive a release date.

Gentleman Jack series one is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
