SEASON 2 RECAP:

Against the breathtaking backdrop of 18th century Cornwall, Aidan Turner (Poldark), Eleanor Tomlinson (Demelza) and Heida Reed (Elizabeth) return as the complicated love triangle in Season 2 of the popular romantic saga, based on the novels by Winston Graham.

SEASON 1 RECAP:

Season 1 begins in 1783, a time when Britain is in a crisis of falling wages, rising goods prices, and civil unrest.

Dashing and adventurous, Ross Poldark returns home to Cornwall after fighting in the American Revolutionary War to find his world dramatically changed: his family estate is in ruins, his father has died, and his sweetheart is engaged to another.

Though he is encouraged to pack up and make a new life elsewhere, the stubborn Poldark resolves to change his destiny and restore his lost fortune.

As he assembles a motley band of friends and servants, Ross finds a partner equally headstrong to share the twists and turns of his new life.

But changing the status quo of this country hamlet creates powerful enemies, and soon Ross is caught between what he knows to be right, and what society dictates.
