We watched Gentleman Jack cast reuniting for Season 2 on April 25 and Suranne Jones is back on the screens! We realized how we missed watching Jones when she resumed her role as the fourth-wall-breaking Anne Lister. In the Gentleman Jack cast, we will also see Sophie Rundle and Lydia Leonard, who portrays Ann Walker and Marian Lawton, getting their roles back.
In Season 2, it did not take too long for the tragedy to strike. It happened shortly after when Anne’s old romance Lawton made a comeback, pushing Anne into a very weird position considering her current love life. Apparently, Anne and Ann’s romance was put to a test.
Gentleman Jack cast has both old and new faces for us to discover through the 2nd season, and you should look forward to interesting new characters. We were particularly excited about Anne’s crazy former lover Isabella ‘Tib’ Norcliffe (Joanna Scanlan), and Season 2 did not disappoint.
