Suranne Jones has issued a long statement following the news Gentleman Jack will not be renewed.
The period drama - which stars Suranne as 19th-century landowner Anne Lister, often regarded as the "first modern lesbian" - is a co-production between the broadcasters. Created by Sally Wainwright, the series is based on Lister's diaries, which were part-written in a cryptic code, and has won plaudits in the UK.
However, in a statement to Deadline, HBO said it "will not be moving forward with a third season of Gentleman Jack". They said: "When we began this journey more than five years ago, we knew the series' creator Sally Wainwright had a uniquely compelling vision, and it's been tremendously gratifying to see how Anne Lister's journey has resonated with viewers.
