“Miss Scarlet” has been renewed for a seventh and final season at Masterpiece PBS.
Featuring “Wolf Hall” star Kate Phillips as the titular Eliza Scarlet, it has been following Victorian London’s first female private investigator since it first debuted in 2021on Masterpiece Mystery!
“What a journey this has been,” said Phillips. “‘Miss Scarlet’ has been one of the greatest joys of my career, and I will forever be grateful to Rachael New for creating such a witty, sharp, and delightful character in Eliza. It’s been a privilege to work on a show crafted with so much love and dedication and as we prepare to say goodbye, I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved and the memories we’ve made. Thank you to everyone who has supported us — I can’t wait to share the farewell ‘Miss Scarlet\ deserves.”
The series also stars Tom Durant-Pritchard as Eliza’s love interest Alexander Blake well as returning cast members Paul Bazely, Tim Chipping, Evan McCabe, Felix Scott, Cordelia Bugeja and Ansu Kabia.
Season 7, which will consis of six episodes, is set to wrap up Eliza’s story as she faces mounting pressure both at work and at home. Ivan Zivkovic directs.
Creator and writer Rachael New said: “Making ‘Miss Scarlet’ has been the greatest joy of my professional career. Every stage of this beautiful show – from the writing, filming, editing and finally it reaching the screen – it has taken a whole village. A village of exceptionally talented people.”
“From the wonderful exec team who first saw the potential in this story, to my brilliant writing partner Ben Edwards, the Belgrade production team, the Dublin post team and not least to our remarkable cast led by the magnificent Kate Philips, it has been a collaborative and beautiful experience. I’m very proud of how the final season plays out and the story we tell for Eliza. It’s a wrench to say goodbye to a character that I have lived and breathed for all these years, but Eliza will forever be with me whether on screen or off.”
Seasons 1-6 are available to stream via the PBS app and PBS Masterpiece on Prime Video. In the U.K. it is available on streaming service U, with the sixth season launching later this month on on U&alibi.
