Are you excited people? The fourth, and most probably the penultimate, season of popular British period set saga POLDARK starts its eight episode run next Sunday, June 10th on BBC, and for the viewers in Northern America on PBS Masterpiece later next Autumn September 30th! Everybody's favourite Captain Ross Poldark will, as he himself admits, sell his soul and go into politics after refusing to do so in previous three seasons. Tough times require drastic measures. Stay tuned for more photos, I will be updating the spotlight throughout the week as the info arrives!
SEASON FOUR OF POLDARK

the happenings until the Christmas period of 1799. The fifth season will
probably start with a ten year jump.
VILLAINOUS MONK ADDERLEY
When it comes to new faces in the cast, Max Bennett joins the crew as villainous member of parliament Monk Adderley who takes a particular interest in Demelza! He is an unscrupulous and very vivid society figure without conscience and loyalty.
FORMIDABLE LADY WHITWORTH
Meanwhile, Rebecca Front also joins the cast as Lady Whitworth, formidable mother of perverse reverend Osborne who does not care that her son loves to suck female toes in his free tme. The arrival of his overbearing mother will bring more trouble to Morwenna.
While the second season of BBC's super popular period set series POLDARK is airing on Sunday evenings, the third season is already shooting in UK and they have new cast additions: Harry Richardson and Tom York will play Demelza's (Eleanor Tomlinson) brothers, while Ellise Chappel will be her cousin.
Her cousin Morwenna will work as a governess at George Warleggan's
estate to help her sisters and her mother, but will find out that there
may be more important things in life than a sense of duty. Harry
Richardson, who was positively delightful this winter in Doctor Thorne,
is her brother Drake, a good natured free-spirit who is searching for
his own place in the world and is unwilling to settle for anything,
especially when it comes to his romantic life. Tom York, whom we watched
in SyFy's godawful crap of a show Olympusis Demelza's other brother
Sam, who wants to follow in his father's footsteps and spread the word
of the Methodists. Only, it may prove a little hard to stick by his
convictions when his own brother falls so easily into the way of
temptation.
