A co-production between HBO and BBC, Gentleman Jack takes place in West Yorkshire, England, in 1832, and is inspired by the true story of the journals of Anne Lister (played here by Suranne Jones).

After an extended period of travel, Lister returned to her ancestral home and set about trying to transform it, build her business interests, and find herself a wife (Sophie Rundle).

The series is created by BAFTA-winner Sally Wainwright (Happy Valley), and also stars Gemma Whelan, Peter Davison, and Timothy West.
