When is Gentleman Jack Season 2 Coming to HBO Max?
Just like Season 1 of Gentleman Jack, Season 2 will air on BBC One and the BBC iPlayer a little earlier than HBO Max, starting on Sunday, April 10 at 9 p.m. BST.
The good news is, as with other shows such as Peaky Blinders and The Tourist, fans in the U.S. will not have to wait until Gentleman Jack finishes airing on the BBC before it can make its way to HBO Max.
Gentleman Jack Season 2 will premiere on HBO Max on Monday, April 25, just two weeks after the UK premiere.
Episodes of Gentleman Jack will air weekly on both sides of the Atlantic and fans are in for a treat.
To watch Gentleman Jack in the U.S., you must be an HBO customer. You can also sign up to HBO's streaming platform, HBO Max for $14.99 per month.
In the U.K., you must have a TV license to watch Gentleman Jack.
What Will Happen in Gentleman Jack Season 2?
The second season of Gentleman Jack will pick up from the romantic ending of Season 1, which saw Anne Lister and Ann Walker exchange vows.
As women could not legally marry each other in the 19th century, Lister and Walker took the sacrament, declaring themselves "wife and wife."
Now, Lister is hoping to take the next step with Lister, by moving her into Shibden Hall and combining their estates however, in 19th century English society, where homophobia and prejudice run rife, this is not going to be the most simple of tasks.
Elsewhere, fans will be desperate to know the outcome of the Thomas Sowden (Tom Lewis) murder plot.
Once again, Gentleman Jack Season 2 will also draw upon Lister's real-life diaries, which were often written in code. Her diary entries, consisting of over 7,700 pages and five million words, drive the plot of the show.
