Watch Poldark on PBS this Sunday, 6/21!


"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.”

Will you be watching? Make sure to live tweet with #PoldarkPBS and let's fan out together!

  1. 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").

  4. @Maria D, Hope you enjoy it as much as I feel I willl share your thoughts with me!

    @Wendy- yes, this is the US premier! So jealous you've gotten to see it all already.

    @Kristin, Sorry about the youtube clip. Display settings are set by the publisher. Try accessing the official website on PBS- http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/programs/poldark/

    Like Wendy just noted- it ran first in the UK, and just like Downton Abbey, the DVD of season 1 will be out a few weeks before series finale here in US. July 7th from what amazon says- you can pick that up if you can't access the broadcast in CAN! http://amzn.to/1JTHlyy

  6. 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!"
