Sky 1 has ordered a second season of Sky Original Production “Jamestown” — before the first season has debuted. The Carnival Films series charts the early days of the first British settlers as they embark on new lives in America. Season 1 begins airing on Friday in the UK.
The eight-part second installment will again be written by Bill Gallagher (Lark Rise To Candleford, The Paradise) and will see the ensemble cast, led by Naomi Battrick, Sophie Rundle and Niamh Walsh return for more 17th-century adventures. Principal photography starts in June. Carnival’s Gareth Neame, Nigel Marchant and Richard Fell are exec producers and the series is distributed by NBCUniversal International Distribution.
