Five Things We Want to See in the Final Season of 'Poldark'

We’re just a few short weeks away from the final season of Poldark, which means that we’ve all got to start preparing our emotions to say goodbye to Cornwall, and all the tricorner hats, gorgeous countryside and endless horseback rides that go along with it.

Season 5 begins on Sunday, September 29 on Masterpiece, and will follow the story of the Poldarks into truly unchartered territory – the historical gap that takes place between books seven and eight of author Winston Graham’s beloved series of novels. Yup, in order to avoid an awkward time jump that would require everybody to wear aging makeup, creator Debbie Horsfield has decided to explore the decade or so that passes between The Angry Tide and The Stranger From the Sea.

To be fair Stranger From the Sea does make reference to several events that happen in this timeframe, and there are plenty of historical moments from the period that could serve as the basis for a variety of plots, as well as real-life figures who could show up.
