"Poldark" season 3 might have to air earlier than autumn to avoid a clash with the second season of another acclaimed drama, "Victoria". The final release date has not yet been announced, but if the network will push through with the plan of avoiding "Victoria," fans might see the American-British drama back on BBC One before September.
Two British dramas are being pitted against each other, and both will be releasing their new seasons this year, reports claim that "Poldark" decided not to take the challenge and air earlier than "Victoria". Actress, Eleanor Tomlinson, recently shared her thoughts in an interview about the supposed rivalry between the two shows, saying that the previous releases of the dramas split the viewers.
Despite the tight competition between the British dramas in their last seasons, Tomlinson believes that "Poldark" has pulled through, ending the installment with a higher rating than "Victoria". Although not a part of the latter series, Tomlinson shares how the shows are gearing up for thicker story arcs, and how the characters of each show are being developed better than the initial seasons.
With the actress' comments about the competition, many have assumed that "Poldark" season 3 will avoid the second round of viewer-rating-battle with "Victoria", as they will finish early. BBC, though, has not yet given any announcement regarding the matter, but "Poldark" season 3 remains to be in the lineup of 2017 releases.
Meanwhile, spoilers reveal that "Poldark" season 3 will focus on the relationship of Ross and Demelza Poldark. A few photo teasers have been leaked online, and some of them feature Aidan Turner and Tomlinson enjoying the filming. Actress Heida Reed also shared a sneak peek of her character, Elizabeth, looking startled over something.
New actors have also been signed to be added in the show. Tom York and Harry Richardson have been tapped to play as Sam and Drake, respectively. The duo will serve as Demelza's brothers, but no further details on how they will affect the life of the Poldark couple were revealed.
The synopsis of "Poldark" season 3 was also shared. The Poldark couple will face a new set of challenges as Ross Poldark and Demelza are stuck in a French Revolution that will greatly affect the way of living in Cornwall. The exact premiere of "Poldark" season 3 is yet to be announced, but fans should not worry as it will surely return on television this year.
