Miss Scarlet has a return date, albeit without the Duke. The PBS British mystery series will return for its fifth season in January with a new title and a new leading man.
Tom Durant Pritchard is joining Kate Phillips, Evan McCabe, Cathy Belton, Felix Scott, Paul Bazely, Simon Ludders, and Tim Chipping for season five of the Masterpiece series set in the Victorian era. The story revolves around Eliza Scarlet (Phillips) as she takes over her dad’s detective agency following his death. The show’s first four seasons feature her partnering with gruff Scotland Yard inspector William Wellington (Stuart Martin), aka”The Duke.”
PBS revealed the following about the upcoming season of Miss Scarlet:
In the new season, Eliza’s agency is thriving and her professional life is on a successful path. On the personal side, however, Duke has now been away in New York for several months and Eliza is forced to make a difficult decision.
Meanwhile, a new Detective Inspector comes to Scotland Yard and Eliza must navigate building a relationship with him if she’s going to continue having access to police resources.
All these changes and decisions beg the question: Can Eliza Scarlet have it all?
Miss Scarlet returns on January 12th. More photos from season five are below.
