“Miss Scarlet” has been renewed for a seventh and final season on Masterpiece PBS.
‘Wolf Hall’ star Kate Phillips stars as the titular Eliza Scarlett, who first appeared in Masterpiece Mystery in 2021 and has followed Victorian London’s first female private investigator ever since.
“What an incredible journey this has been,” Phillips said. “‘Miss Scarlet’ has been one of the greatest joys of my career and I will forever be grateful to Rachel New for creating such a witty, sharp and fun character like Eliza. I am honored to be working on a show that has been created with so much love and dedication. And as we prepare to say goodbye, we’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished and the memories we’ve made. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. We can’t wait to share our farewell.” Scarlett deserves it. ”
The series stars Tom Durant-Pritchard as Eliza’s love interest, Alexander Blake, and also stars Paul Bazley, Tim Chipping, Evan McCabe, Felix Scott, Cordelia Bugeja and Ansu Kabia.
The six-episode Season 7 will conclude Eliza’s story as she faces increasing pressures both at work and at home. Directed by Ivan Zivković.
Creator and writer Rachel New said: “Making ‘Miss Scarlet’ was the greatest joy of my professional career. Every step of this beautiful show – writing, filming, editing and finally reaching the screen – took a village. A village of extraordinary talent.”
“From the amazing executive team who first saw the potential in this story, to my amazing writing partner Ben Edwards, to the production team in Belgrade, to the post team in Dublin, and above all to the amazing cast led by the wonderful Kate Phillips. It was a collaborative and beautiful experience, and I’m so proud of how the final season unfolded and the story we tell for Eliza. It’s hard to say goodbye to a character I’ve lived and breathed for so many years, but Eliza will be with me forever, on screen or off. ”
Seasons 1-6 are available to stream via PBS Masterpiece on the PBS app and Prime Video. It’s available to watch in the UK on streaming service U, with season 6 launching on U&alibi later this month.
