Poldark season 3 premiere: Watch online
The third season of Poldark kicks off tonight, and the synopsis promises some new characters for us to know (and maybe even love). Here’s how to watch.
It’s time for PBS to fire up its fall with the return of Poldark. When last we left off with 1790s Cornwall, Demelza continued being our favorite character, even if we still do enjoy looking at Aidan Turner in period costume; things were as per usual tense between George Warleggan and Ross Poldark; oh, and Elizabeth’s pregnant, and the baby is (probably) Ross’, but she’s married to George.
Even though we all know George is terrible.
Anyway, it’s a lot to take in, but the show will presumably give us a brief reminder of all the storylines ahead of tonight’s premiere.

Speaking of those storylines, here’s the episode’s synopsis, straight from PBS’ pressroom.
"George has everything going for him: Elizabeth, an heir, the Poldark lands, his own church. Meanwhile, Demelza’s brothers, Sam and Drake, take up preaching. After Caroline and Dwight elope, Dwight vanishes."
Wait a second here. More members of the Carne family are coming to Cornwall? This certainly isn’t going to end up being a problem later on, is it? (Who are we kidding? This is Poldark. Everything becomes a problem eventually.)
The next question is this: where on earth did George get a church? How? Is obtaining the church just to make him a little more popular? That’s probably not going to help, but we can’t fault him for trying for it. The wording also suggests that we’ll skip forward to the birth of Elizabeth’s baby — “an heir” could just be wishful thinking, but it seems more concrete, as if the baby is coming or has already come. Finally, “The Poldark lands” presumably refer to the Trenwith estate, not Ross’ Nampara, because that’d be a heck of a change to explain away if Ross and Demelza were suddenly homeless.

That press link also appears to show that tonight’s episode is just an hour long, but looking at some station’s listings, it’s likely that we’ll see two hours’ worth tonight.
