Poldark: Steamy trailer for season 3 introduces new heartthrobĪ new trailer for the Cornish period drama Poldark is giving viewers a sneak preview of the upcoming third season, as well as a revealing glimpse of a new character.
There are also plenty of other notable women in the show, including Caroline Penvenen (Gabriella Wilde), the "beautiful and manipulative" niece of wealthy landowner Ray Penvenan (John Nettles) in series two, while this year Morwenna Chynoweth (Ellise Chappell) has appeared to provide support for Elizabeth - while catching the eye of Drake. Meanwhile Demelza, the ultimate rags-to-riches story, maintains her compassion for those less fortunate. Now she cannot help her lingering feelings. While there's a lot of focus on the bare-chested men of the show, Poldark would not be nearly so appealing without its leading ladies.Įlizabeth may have given up on Ross and married his cousin, but only because she thought Ross was dead. He then falls in love and marries Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson) - but the pull of his old love remains, however, and this tension hovers over the series. Poldark is filled with romantic intrigues, starting off with Ross returning home from war to find his sweetheart Elizabeth (Heida Reed) about to be married off to his cousin Francis (Kyle Soller).

But when Ross sees the dire conditions of the local tenants, he sets out to rebuild the local economy starting with his family's old mine. Poldark makes it clear this is a time of great social injustice, with dastardly toffs exploiting the poor. It isn't just that Ross works to get himself out of debt, he continues to work alongside his men even after earning enough money to sit back. It also leads to shirtless scything and mining, of course, but that's just an added bonus. Seeing a gentleman who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, instead of sitting around drinking port and complaining about how hard it is to get good help these days, is a refreshing change.
Ross comes from the landed gentry, but his military background and his early financial difficulties have made him a doer. Here are five things that make Poldark a hit.
