BBC One has also, besides ‘Peaky Blinders’, ‘The Musketeers’, ‘Doctor Who’, ‘The Fall’ and ‘The Missing’, renewed ‘Poldark’. The renewal comes as the broadcaster celebrates its best start to a year in a decade.
The series follows the soldier ‘Poldark’ as he returns from the American War of Independence to his beloved Cornwall to find his world in ruins: his father is dead, his house destroyed and his beloved engaged.
Aidan Turner will return as Ross ‘Poldark’ and Eleanor Tomlinson as Demelza in a new eight-part season written by Debbie Horsfield that will cover books three and four of Winston Graham’s series.
Charlotte Moore, Controller of BBC One, said: “It’s been an outstanding start to the year for programme-makers on the channel and their ambition has been in evidence throughout. I’ve been proud to watch a BBC One at the top of its game, bursting with creativity and modernity, which has brought the nation together and sparked the national conversation. I want to make sure viewers feel BBC One is part of their lives and that’s about making sure there is something on BBC One for everybody. We aim to maintain that momentum and continue to move with the times and bring audiences a range of distinctive, high-quality programmes that feel relevant and reflect the diversity of modern Britain. It’s exciting to see BBC One being recognised today as the most nominated channel in this year’s BAFTA TV Awards. I can also exclusively announce that Sunday’s night new phenomenon ‘Poldark’ that has captured the nations’ hearts has been commissioned for a second series.”
Are you glad that BBC One has renewed ‘Poldark’?
