Jamestown is a British drama television series,[1] written by Bill Gallagher and produced by Carnival Films, an NBC Universal International Television Production company, the makers of Downton Abbey.

[4] The renewal of Jamestown for a third and final season was announced by Sky One on 23 March 2018.

Among the women are Jocelyn, Alice and Verity, who arrive with little idea of what the future holds or the disruption they are about to bring to the settlement.

The new Governor, Sir George Yeardley, and his wife also arrive and discover that running the settlement is not without problems with a Company Secretary trying to undermine his position.

[9][10] A critic with the Financial Times questioned the accuracy of the show, especially its portrait of women.
