Wainwright disclosed to the media that she was writing a drama series about the landowner, industrialist, and intellectual Anne Lister and would use the grant to further her research.

    Hello Jack!

    I have spent far to much time watching period pieces, Jane Austin theater and everything on PBS. FINALLY a heroine who doesn't simper, have her value judged in her ability to marry and produce kids, but who is funny and daring and very much alive.

    The music is awesome and only enhances her sense of purpose to take life on her defined terms. Can't wait for the next episode.

    FAQ19

    • How many seasons does Gentleman Jack have?Powered by Alexa
    • Is Gentleman Jack coming back for a second season? The HBO voice over at the start of episode eight says "and now the season finale", not the series finale. It would b e great to follow more of her story.
