The new season will see Anne and Ann set up their new home at Shibden Hall as they start their married life together.
The official BBC synopsis teases: "Anne Lister's entrepreneurial spirit frightens the locals as much as her unconventional love life and, with Halifax on the brink of revolution, her refusal to keep a low profile becomes provocative and dangerous."
Reprising their roles alongside Sophie and Suranne are Gemma Whelan and Lydia Leonard, who will be returning as Marian Lister and Mariana Lawton. Gemma Jones and Timothy West will also be back to play Aunt Anne and Jeremy Lister.
