Aidan Turner has revealed there will be ten episodes in Season 2 of Poldark. 

In an interview with the  Huffington Post  Aidan says of filming : 'We're going to start September, I think first week of September, something like that, or second week of September. I think we run until ... I think we go until like the first week in April. We've two extra episodes this season, which is amazing. The shoot is probably seven and a half months or something like that. A bit longer than last year. But looking forward to it, can't wait to get back there. I love shooting the show, I love Cornwall, and adore everyone in the show, so it'll be fun.'

The BBC originally planned six episodes for the first series of Poldark but had increased this to eight by the time filming started.  The news that there will be 10 episodes in the second season will delight the drama's many fans.
