THIS IS NOT WHAT JANE WANTED. Top Story - October 2023. Content Warning.
It must be hard trying to adapt an unfinished book into a series television show. Especially an unfinished book with only 11 chapters. But Sanditon (2019), I would like to believe, truly tried their hardest to make the most out of what Austen started more than 200 years ago.

Meredith Stiehm, president of WGA West, began the meeting by making the "official" declaration that the guild has struck a tentative new three-year Minimum Basic Agreement following what was the second-longest strike in the history of the union.
