If Poldark season 5 is final season, should BBC announce it soon?
Of course, there is a part of this announcement that could also be considered fairly bittersweet — the fact that this could end up being the final season for the series. Aidan Turner has hinted such in the past and, to go along with that, there have been very few commitments beyond going past this season. We’ve talked in the past about there being enough story potential for another season (check out the video below, and subscribe to CarterMatt on YouTube for more), but we also understand the desire to potentially move forward. Five years for any television series is a long run, and we especially think that this is the case for a British show — other than Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife, and some of the classic shows like EastEnders, you don’t hear a lot about dramas in the UK lasting that long.
With that, here’s the question to wonder: Does it serve the BBC to announce the final season soon? We’d say it does — but not too soon. For them, there is really no need for them to upstage the promotion of the upcoming fourth season (hopefully premiering soon) with the announcement of a final season. If we had it our way, we’d choose to announce this at the conclusion of season 4 airing later this year. At that point, the season is over and everyone has plenty of time preparing for the end. The writing team may know before then, but personally we’ve never been all that big of a fan of keeping this sort of announcements until after the final season starts air. It benefits everyone to be able to better understand when a story is winding down. They can watch with that in mind and start to brace themselves emotionally for the end.
