The true story of a true original

The award-winning series Gentleman Jack brings all the warmth, wit, and complexity of the writing of Sally Wainwright (BAFTA award-winning writer of Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax) to the remarkable true story of lesbian landowner Anne Lister. With a spectacular cast including the BAFTA award-winning Suranne Jones (Doctor Foster, Vigil) in the lead role, and Sophie Rundle (Peaky Blinders, Happy Valley).

Halifax, Yorkshire, 1832. Charismatic, swashbuckling Anne Lister determines to transform the fate of her ancestral home Shibden Hall. To do this, she must re-open her coal mines and marry well. But Anne has no intention of marrying a man. True to her own nature she plans to marry a woman and embarks on an epic, unconventional love story.
