After three years of absence due to Covid-19, the second season of the highly anticipated period drama series Gentleman Jack finally premiered recently on HBO Go. The new season has eight episodes, released every Tuesday until June 9.
Created by Sally Wainwright, the second season follows the life of Victorian LGBTI icon Anne Lister and her relationship with Ann Walker. We saw the tumultuous courtship between the two women in the first season, which began with Anne Lister's arrival in the small town of Halifax in Yorkshire after inheriting a wealthy uncle's estate. The new season takes place in 1834, and all eyes are on the two women as they get married. The two begin to pursue the idea of combining their estates in the hopes of becoming a power couple in town while confronting the era's rigid ideas of gender roles.
