The second season of the popular historical drama series Poldor premiered on September 4th, 2016. Based on the next two novels in Winston Graham's original book series - Jeremy Poldark and Warlegan - this installment takes viewers back to post-Revolutionary England where turmoil reigns supreme.

Plot Summary

---------

Set against a backdrop of riotous upheaval from 1790 to 1793, Ross Poldark (played by Aidan Turner) must navigate treacherous waters as he battles for his life and freedom. As George Warleggan (also known in some countries as George III), played by Jack Farthing, conspires against him with a ruthless determination rivaling anything seen before on screen.

Ross's struggles begin when the cunning and resourceful Warlegan sets out to have our dashing hero hang for alleged involvement in a daring heist gone wrong. As tensions rise throughout Cornwall, Ross finds himself at odds not just with his sworn enemy but also those closest to him - including his beloved fiancée Demelza (played by Vivian Pickles) and even his loyal friends like Prudence Poldark.

Meanwhile off-screen romance blossoms between the beautiful newcomer Morwenna Chynoweth, played by Peran Porter, who arrives at Trenwith estate as a governess for Ross's nephews - but whose past secrets threaten to tear apart any chance of happiness she may find. Will love ultimately triumph over adversity in this gripping second season of Poldor? Tune in tonight on BBC One and Sky Atlantic at 9pm to find out!
