Is Poldark Season 6 Release Date Confirmed or Canceled?

BBC One Channel has announced that Poldark Season 6 has been canceled, which is disappointing but not entirely unexpected news for fans of the show. Despite his character, Captain Ross Vennor Poldark, promising to return to Demelza Poldark (played by Eleanor Tomlinson) at the end of season 5, Aidan Turner, who portrayed the 18th-century Cornish soldier based on Winston Graham’s book, has stated that he has no intentions of returning to the series.

Why Was Poldark Season 6 Canceled?

In different interviews with producers and cast members, it was clear that the people who made Poldark wanted to end the show on a high note, which is a usual way for British TV shows to end. (The historical series aired on BBC One in the U.K. before it aired on PBS in the U.S.).

“We are trying to serve the story to the best of our ability and the storyline of Ross and Demelza would have a time jump we’d really battle with, and it is right to end the series now while it is so strong and while these characters are loved and not diminished in any way,” In an interview with Digital Spy, Eleanor Tomlinson, who portrays Demelza, said this.

“I feel very sad about it ending. I’m really going to miss the cast and crew and I’m really going to miss Aidan [Turner, who plays Ross Poldark],” she stated. “We have a brilliant bond and a brilliant relationship and it is going to be very strange not going to work.”

Executive producer Karen Thrussell suggested that the show might make a comeback in the future when she declared Season 5 as the series finale. Actor Aidan shares this view, considering it a viable prospect.

“It doesn’t feel like an ending,” he admitted to Digital Spy. “I don’t think that is the BBC being crafty and keeping it open-ended for another series in time, but [while] it feels right, it doesn’t feel final.”

Poldark season 5: Recap

Airing from 2015 to 2019, Poldark is a British historical drama TV series set in the late 18th century, following the story of Ross Poldark, a British Army officer who returns to his Cornwall home after fighting in the American Revolutionary War. The fifth and final season premiered on September 29, 2019, wherein Ross and Demelza are committed to a simple life after Elizabeth’s death. However, Ross is pretending to commit treason for reasons unknown, and he and Laurent are preparing for an invasion by General Toussaint and the French army. Dwight confronts Ross about deceiving Demelza and lying about Elizabeth’s death.

In the series finale, Ross poses as a spy for the French to save his life, appearing to get close to Tess Tregidden, but he refuses to tell Demelza about his subterfuge when confronted. In the last scene, Ross slow-motion walks towards a boat starting his journey to France with Dwight as they become spies. Poldark season 5 was a mix of drama, betrayal, action, and romance, wrapping up loose ends and marking the end of the era for fans who followed the show since its 2015 premiere.
