It's confirmed: the fifth and final series of Poldark will air on Sunday, 14 July, and we can't wait.


The news was announced in a BBC tweet, which confirmed the air date of the highly-anticipated series, and showed a photo of Poldark, played by Aidan Turner, standing by the beautiful Cornish coast.

This isn't the only teaser we've been given in recent days - just last week, BBC also released a short trailer which gives a sneak peek of the events to come in this series, asking "If your country betrays you, to whom do you then owe loyalty?"


According to the BBC, we can expect just as much drama and conflict in the fifth series. A statement about the plot reads: "The Poldarks look forward to life together in peace, but a plea from Ross's old Army Colonel, Ned Despard (Vincent Regan), compels him to the capital.

"As Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson) manages their affairs in Cornwall she encounters disenchantment and a new opponent, Tess (Sofia Oxenham). George (Jack Farthing) meanwhile struggles to engage with the world after Elizabeth's death and it falls to Cary (Pip Torrens) to expand the family empire - as Valentine (Woody Norman) struggles to find his place within it.

"Arriving in London, Ross (Aidan Turner) finds a city gripped with paranoia, and is determined to save Ned from the conspiracy that imprisoned him.

The description continues, giving us an insight into the plot points to be expected.

"George enters into an alliance with the merchant behind Ned's imprisonment, Ralph Hanson (Peter Sullivan), whose business is in upholding the slave trade," it reads. "Meanwhile, Geoffrey Charles (Freddie Wise) decides to follow in Ross's footsteps and enter the military - but also finds himself drawn to Cecily Hanson (Lily Dodsworth-Evans), Ralph's daughter.

"As George's grief leads the Warleggans into uncharted and worrying territory, Ross discovers a grave plot and is urged to heroism, while Demelza is forced into action herself back at home."

We can't wait.

The final series of Poldark will air on Sunday, 14 July at 9pm on BBC One.
