A sensation on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre, this spellbinding saga tells the story of the gallant Captain Ross Poldark (Robin Ellis, The Good Soldier) in 18th-century Cornwall. Based on the novels by Winston Graham, this classic drama teems with adventure and romance, set against the spectacular backdrop of the ruggedly beautiful coast. In Series 1, a wounded Ross returns from the American Revolution to a family who thought he had perished in the war. He finds that his father has died in his absence, the woman he loves is engaged to his cousin, and a viperous businessman is plotting to ruin his family. Series 2 follows Ross through further tumultuous times, from saving his marriage to reclaiming his fortune as he attempts to defeat his predatory rival once and for all.

After fighting in the American Revolutionary War, Englishman Ross Poldark (Aidan Turner) returns to his Cornwall home only to find his father dead, his community in the grip of harsh economic times, and the woman he loves engaged to his cousin. Resolved to make a fresh start, Poldark takes control of his lands and sets out to redefine his fortunes. This newest, British-made series adapted from the Winston Graham novels co-stars Heida Reed, Kyle Soller, and Elinor Tomlinson.

Ross Poldark rides again in a swashbuckling new adaptation of the hit series that helped launch MASTERPIECE in the 1970s. Aidan Turner (The Hobbit) stars as Captain Poldark, a redcoat who returns to Cornwall after the American Revolution and finds that his fighting days are far from over. Robin Ellis, who played Poldark in the 1970s PBS adaptation, appears in the role of Reverend Halse.
