Will there be a season 2 of BBC's Miss Austen?
If there is one show to put on your to-watch list, then BBC's new period drama Miss Austen has to be it. But, will there be a second season of the hit series?
The four-part drama is loosely based on the book by Gill Hornby and follows the story of author Jane Austen's sister, Cassandra Austen, and why she infamously burned her sister's letters after her death.
The tale of sisterly love and heartbreak from BAFTA-winning writer Andrea Gibb has had audiences immersed, so from the potential cast to plot and more, here's what we know so far about season two of Miss Austen.
Will there be a season 2 of Miss Austen?

Miss Austen season 2: Plot
Spoilers ahead, but the final episode of the series sees Cassandra dividing Jane's letters into piles of ones that she wants to either keep or give to Mary.
She begins to read one that Dinah gave to her, which is Jane's last ever letter to Eliza. In it, she writes about her poor health, the love of her family and, in particular, Cassandra. "She has protected me always and I know she will protect my legacy after I have gone," we hear Jane say.
Then, we see Cassandra burning the letters as a way to protect and honour Jane's legacy. So, if the series is renewed for another season, we may see the aftermath of the burning of the letters as well as see Isabella and Mr Lidderdale's post-marriage life.
Miss Austen is streaming on BBC iPlayer now.
