Fourth season of BBC TV drama Poldark starts filming in Cornwall

0 Under strain: Marriage of Ross and Demelza Poldark Poldark heart-throb Aidan Turner has returned to Cornwall to start filming the eagerly anticipated fourth series of the BBC drama.

Fans were left reeling when the third series wrapped last month with Ross Poldark (Turner) and his wife Demelza’s (Eleanor Tomlinson) marriage hanging in the balance.

But they will be delighted to hear that production on the programme’s next run is already under way, with the series due to air in 2018.

Set in 1796, it will see Poldark trying to defend Cornwall and risking everything as he embarks on a political journey which takes him to the capital.

Karen Thrussell, from production company Mammoth, said they hope it “will be our strongest series yet”.
