‘Poldark,’ a British historical period drama based on Winston Graham’s eponymous book series, airs on the BBC in the United Kingdom. Debbie Horsfield wrote the show for television, and PBS picked it up to air in the United States.
Set in Cornwall between 1781 and 1801, ‘Poldark’ follows the titular character on several adventures following his return to his hometown following the 1783 American War of Independence.
When Captain Ross Vennor Poldark returns to Nampara, Cornwall, he discovers several shocking revelations following a three-year stint in the army. Numerous events occurred during his absence, including the death of his father, the bankruptcy of his estate, and the engagement of his lover Elizabeth to his cousin Francis.
He meets a young woman named Demelza Carne and hires her as his scullery maid. However, the two eventually fall in love and marry in 1787. The remainder of the story chronicles their lives until 1801.
Season 4 of ‘Poldark‘ concludes with Elizabeth indulging in a labor-inducing potion that may prove fatal. Although she successfully provides birth to a healthy daughter named Ursula, the potion’s side effects ultimately claim her life.
George discovers the truth about Valentine’s origins due to the event. In other scenes, Drake and Morwenna continue their sweet marriage’s journey, and Caroline informs Dwight that she is prepared to try for a second child.
Season 5 picks up where the previous episode left off, following Ross and Demelza as they live a simple life centered on family, fishing, mining, and friendship. However, a piece of news from London draws Ross’s attention away from the various adventures that await him in that city.
Demelza assumes command of Nampara in Ross’ absence, and it is at this point a specific housemaid enters Demelza’s life. George is still reeling in the aftermath of Elizabeth’s death. On the other side, both the Carnes and the Enyses must contend with their demons.
Season 5 of ‘Poldark’ debuted on BBC in July and on PBS in September 2019. Now the issue is, will there be a sixth season of ‘Poldark’? Let us investigate.
Poldark Season 6 Release Date
Season 5 of ‘Poldark’ began on PBS in the United States on September 29, 2019. However, the most recent season is not an adaptation of the original books. It chronicles the events between the seventh (The Angry Tide) and eighth (The Stranger from the Sea) volumes during 11 years.
According to scriptwriter Debbie Horsfield, “Winston Graham leaves several suggestions in book eight about events that occurred over those intervening years, but he reveals nothing about how Ross underwent that transition.”

Meanwhile, the fifth season does not cover all the books’ subject matter. Indeed, there are 12 volumes, and content from five different books has yet to be adapted for the screen.
Thus, BBC had the option of continuing the narrative. However, here lies the rub. The creators do not seem to intend to continue the series.
According to main actor Turner, “When we began Poldark, our goal was to finish most of the novels, which would likely take us up to the fifth season.”

Thus, when shooting this series, there was a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that we had made it this far, that the program had been a success, and that viewers enjoyed it.
The intention was always to conclude the series in season 5. Thus, there you have it. ‘Poldark’ season 6 has been canceled and will not be resurrected soon. If it does reappear in another form, we will certainly keep you informed.
