"Poldark" is a British historical period piece drama, based on the twelve novels of the same name, written by Winston Graham and published between 1945 and 1953. The first seven novels were set in the 18th Century and the remaining five deal with the early years of the 19th Century and the descendants of the previous novel's main characters. The BBC created and aired two television adaptations, the first airing in 1975 and again in 1977, based on the initial 7 novels. The second series, which began airing in 2015 on BBC1 is entering season four and as with the initial series, airs on PBS as part of the Masterpiece series. This controversial 1996 TV film adaptation, produced by HTV, was to be the pilot for a second series and is also known as "The Stranger From the Sea", written by Robin Mukherjee. The pilot utilized a new cast with playing the characters from the original series which wasn't well received by some fans of the first series. The "Poldark" TV series that started in 2015 and continues to appear on Masterpiece on PBS, will be started season 4 shortly.
