"The infamous, swashbuckling hero is back! Ross Poldark returns in a new take on a beloved story. Poldark premieres Sunday, June 21 at 9/8c on MASTERPIECE on PBS. #PoldarkPBS"
You guys know how much I love period pieces- and this one looks like it'll be my new obsession ! New appointment TV for Sundays (Thank God- HBO devastated me with GoT + Silicon Valley finales- I am going to need something to fill the void!)
Check out the trailer below:
More about the series:
Aidan Turner (The Hobbit) stars as Captain Ross Poldark in a gorgeous love story set in windswept Cornwall in the late 1700s. Returning from war, the dashing captain faces financial ruin, romantic betrayal, and a golden opportunity that only he sees. Eleanor Tomlinson (Death Comes to Pemberley) costars as the fiery beauty Demelza. A remake of the 1970s series that helped launch MASTERPIECE, the glorious new Poldark was a runaway hit in the UK and garnered reviews such as the following: “A beautifully filmed Sunday night romp,” said The Times (London), and from the Guardian: “You need look no further for your next guilty pleasure.”

I'm very interested in seeing this series! Too bad the trailer you embedded doesn't show for me in Canada ("uploader has not made this available in your country").

All episodes of the first season have aired and they are wonderful. Can't see enough of Poldark. I write historical romance, set on Amelia Island, Florida, and I can proudly say, "Well done!"
