Theo James announces he's leaving Sanditon one day after two-season renewal

TVLine

“Although I relished playing Sidney, for me, I’ve always maintained that his journey concluded as I wanted it to,” James wrote in an announcement posted to the show’s social media accounts today. “The broken fairy-tale like ending between Charlotte and Sidney is different, unique and so interesting to me and I wish the cast and crew of Sanditon every success with future series.” PBS announced Sanditon's renewal for Seasons 2 and 3 on Thursday.
