BGR reported that it ranked ninth on Netflix’s U.S. Top 10 TV list as of October 13, 2025—a dated chart position, not evidence of where it ranks today. BGR’s October 2025 report
What is Poldark about?
Set in Cornwall, England, the drama follows British captain Ross Poldark as he returns home after the American Revolutionary War. He finds that his father has died, the family estate and its mining operation are struggling, and debt has mounted. Elizabeth, the woman he loved, is engaged to his cousin Francis. Around the Poldark family, social change is also eroding the influence they once held.

Netflix describes the television adaptation as based on Winston Graham’s historical novels and written for television by Debbie Horsfield. The source sequence contains twelve novels; that does not mean the series adapts every book. Netflix Tudum’s series overview
How many seasons does it have?

Where can you watch or read Poldark?
Check streaming availability
Netflix said in its October 2025 overview that the adaptation was streaming on Netflix. That statement is time- and territory-specific, so it does not establish current availability in every country. PBS’s official Poldark page lists streaming on pbs.org and the PBS app, as well as Apple TV and Amazon under “Buy Now.” Access can vary by location and change over time; check the services directly.
Explore the novels and disc release
Readers interested in the story behind the adaptation can look for Winston Graham’s twelve-book Poldark sequence. A separate disc reference exists for Poldark: Complete Series Five: Official Charts records a DVD and Blu-ray chart entry released under ITV Studios Home Entertainment. That listing establishes a product entry, not the availability, region, or contents of a current complete-series set. Official Charts’ Series Five listing
