Eleanor Tomlinson has been cast in 'Poldark'.
The 'White Queen' actress will star in BBC One's rebooted new adaptation of Winston Graham's novels, which are set in 18th century Cornwall, and will be playing the outspoken and free-spirited Demelza in the romantic saga opposite Aidan Turner as Ross Poldark.
The novels were first turned into a successful BBC drama series almost forty years ago and Eleanor hopes she can help the remake to live up to the original.
She said of the role:"I am conscious of the fact that the original series had a huge following and was tremendously popular. All I can promise is that I will do my utmost to do justice to the spirit of Winston Graham's iconic character."
The period drama follows the story of Ross as he returns from the American War of Independence to Cornwall and struggles to cope with how his home county has changed since his departure.
Eleanor is known for playing Isabel Neville in 'The White Queen' and Georgiana Darcy in 'Death Comes to Pemberley', while Aidan plays Kíli in 'The Hobbit' trilogy and John Mitchell in the supernatural series 'Being Human'.
Other leading roles have been snapped up by 'Lark Rise To Candleford' star Ruby Bentall as Ross' cousin Verity, and Heida Reed, who will play his former fiancée Elizabeth.
The new 'Poldark' series will land on BBC One in 2015 and producers have apparently confirmed that a post-watershed slot will make this version even steamier than the original.

"The people I get to meet and work with in the movie business everyday, they're exceptional people ... I get to make films and it's such a unique art form. It does take a lot of people, when you look at the credits, it gets bigger and bigger because we have such an extended amount of technicians and artists. It's been amazing."
Tom is interested in filming a 'Top Gun' sequel and has "talked about different kinds of stories" with movie bosses and insists they are "trying to figure it out."
Meanwhile, the 51-year-old star will also appear in alien war film 'Edge of Tomorrow' this year and revealed there are plenty of "great female characters" in the movie.
He explained: "Emily Blunt plays this extraordinary warrior who knows that the end of the world is coming and she had this superpower and she lost it, so she's about to go into battle on this day knowing the world is going to end."
Tom revealed he plays an "unlikely hero" in the film who is on the outside and is suddenly forced into the situation.
He said: "You have this wonderful dynamic of my character and Emily's character.
"It's the journey of this guy who has to take responsibility and he becomes to be the quiet hero. You look at Doug Liman, the films he's made - they're very big commercial movies but they're also human films and human stories."

Richard Armitage has a "lump in his throat" about the final movie in the 'The Hobbit' trilogy.
The actor, who plays Thorin Oakenshield in the movies, directed by Peter Jackson, feels emotional about Middle Earth possibly being shown on the big screen for the last time after the 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' movies are complete.
He told BANG Showbiz :" It will be 15 years of Peter Jackson's work, there'll be six movies to watch, but it could be the final time. There's something moving about that.
It'll be a shorter film and you'll get to hear the end of the tale that Tolkien wrote.
"I can tell you nothing about the Battle of the Five Armies other than it cost me some blood and some tears.
"I think it's a testament to Peter Jackson's casting that the actors that come together to work on a movie with him do naturally develop a fellowship."
The 42-year-old actor claims it was a "bit of an endurance test" for the cast involved but it helped them to bond and he was thrilled to be able to work with Sir Ian Holm, who will reprise the role of the senior Bilbo Baggins in the movie.
Richard continued: "[It] was a lot of fun - he's a very naughty, entertaining man!
"It [the film] took me away to New Zealand for 18 months, which was a bit of a change.
"I was introduced to some incredible people; I was made to feel like one of the family. The time we were afforded to shoot made me work in a different way.
"I was gifted the sword at the end of the shoot, which is incredibly heavy and really rather beautifully made, so I'm very proud of it. I'm very proud of my sword."

Me and my sister were like, 'OK, great, we have this mother package and you're not even enjoying family time'.
"It came with lunch, massage [and a] facial, which by the way, I passed out [during], because I was really tired. I didn't even remember her giving me a facial or a massage.
"I don't even think she did anything. I just woke up and was really moisturised, I felt like, 'Did I just get conned because I passed out?"
Rita had posted a photograph of her mum on Instagram on Sunday, who was preoccupied on her mobile phone, along with the caption: "Spa day with mama and she's so interested she's on her phone....great. Hello??!!! (sic)"

Debbie Rowe -who was married to the late 'Thriller' star for just under three years until October 1999 and had children Prince, 17, and Paris, 15, with him - will undergo a biopsy today (31.03.14) after medical examinations over the last few months have shown "irregularities" with her lymph nodes, and though her doctors are said to be "convinced" she has lymphoma, the 55-year-old nurse is confident she will be given the all-clear.
According to website TMZ, she said: "I'm too healthy to have cancer."
Michael died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 and though Debbie is comfortable with undergoing a biopsy, she is "scared to death" of going under anaesthetic.
And she is said to have told doctors: "Propofol is out of the question."
In December, Debbie enjoyed a holiday with her son and daughter - who attempted suicide last June - in Hawaii, with their half-brother Blanket, 11, and their cousins Jermajesty and Jaafar Jackson also joining them on the festive break.

Elsewhere in the episode, the 'Mean Girls' star spoke of her unhappiness with her management team and agent, claiming she has to find roles for herself.
Speaking to her life coach A.J. Johnson, she said: "I feel like they just don't care.
"They have their breadwinners and I'm not that to them and they're not willing to fight for me to be that and that's where I'm left feeling alone and insecure because I can't do it [all] on my own!
"Jason [Weinberg] kind of just left me in the dust. Unless I'm like Penelope Cruz, Jason doesn't care. But I can't be Penelope Cruz unless I have Jason behind me, fighting for me...
"Every day I'm not on a film set, I'm wasting my talent!"
Lindsay claimed she got her last two roles herself, adding: "I made the calls and I researched and all they do is take a percentage."

Miranda is embracing the single life and having "fun", but she isn't interested in one-night stands.
She said: "I'm dating. I'm loving it. Two happy parents are better than two unhappy parents. This is my time to explore and have some fun. I'm not looking to fall in love again quickly.
"I still get chatted up a lot. I've had some crazy, ridiculous proposals - stuff that you wouldn't even see in the movies. No blind dates, however, and I never google a man's name before I meet him.
"One-night stands aren't my thing. I made Orlando wait for six months until I even kissed him."
However, being single means Miranda is having less sex and says it has had an impact on her physique.
She explained: "One thing I've noticed is now that I'm having less sex my body isn't as toned. The more sex I have, the more defined my arms and stomach get. Orlando and I always had great chemistry."
And the 30-year-old star also confessed to having a "fetish" for a man's hands and feet and revealed the most daring place she has had sex.
She said: "I've had an orgasm in the air before. Alone. And together."
