Gentleman Jack is a historical drama television series created by Sally Wainwright.[2] [b] Set in the 1830s in Yorkshire, it stars Suranne Jones[5] as landowner and industrialist Anne Lister. The series is based on the collected diaries of Lister, running to an estimated 5 million words with about a sixth in secret code,[5] documenting a lifetime of lesbian relationships. A portion of the diaries were decoded and transcribed by Helena Whitbread[6] as well as other transcribers. The research and transcription carried out for Sally Wainwright’s ‘Gentleman Jack’ has amounted to hundreds of thousands of words of new transcription of the diary. [7]
Gentleman Jack is a BBC One and HBO co-production.[8] The series premiered on 22 April 2019 in the United States,[9] and on 19 May 2019 in the United Kingdom.[10] It was renewed by the BBC on 23 May 2019 for a second series,[11] which was shown on BBC One from 10 April[12] to 29 May 2022 and on HBO from 25 April to 13 June 2022.[13] In July 2022, co-production company HBO said it would not be proceeding with a third series. The BBC announced that they wanted to continue with the programme, but they first need to find a production partner to replace HBO.[14]
