We are sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is the last ever series of Poldark.

You can watch series one to three now on Netflix – season four is not yet available.
What will happen on Poldark season 5?
Elizabeth’s death in series 4 has had a profound effect on Poldark, so he decides to spend more time with his loved ones and away from Westminster in the new episodes – until an old friend comes to him asking for help, and he’s forced to challenge the establishment while questioning his loyalties to King and country.
Meanwhile, Demelza is facing danger closer to home, and George is courting corrupt powers that span the entire empire.
Demelza and Ross are also trying to repair their relationship, and in a recent interview about what’s next for the couple, Irish actor Aidan revealed his ex-soldier will be much “kinder” to his wife in the final run of episodes.
More on Poldark
Speaking about how Ross’s life has moved on since the season four finale, Aidan began: “It’s moved on a considerable amount.
“He’s grown up a lot and has a better sense of responsibility.”
“He’s still impulsive and he has a natural attraction to menace, but I think all round he’s a better person. He’s certainly kinder to Demelza!” the star told TV Times.
The actor went on to say the relationship starts off in a place of “peace”, but hints there’ll be more ructions before long.
