Masterpiece on PBS has dropped the first trailer for Season 6 of Miss Scarlet ahead of its December 7 premiere. This season finds Eliza’s (Kate Phillips) detective business thriving, but her personal life is entering new territory as she attempts to follow her heart and develop a relationship with Inspector Alexander Blake (Tom Durant-Pritchard). Eliza may be an expert in solving crimes, but she’s very much a novice when it comes to love. Can Eliza juggle the twin demands of her personal and professional life? In the trailer, Eliza is warned in a voiceover with “some advice, do not make the mistake of trusting in a man. They will always put their own needs above ours.” Joining Phillips as the Victorian era private detective are Sam Buchanan as Detective George Willows, who joins Scotland Yard after rising through the police ranks; and Grace Hogg-Robinson as Isabel Summers, an ambitious young woman who joins the Clerical Office alongside Ivy. Other members of Miss Scarlet‘s returning cast include Tom Durant-Pritchard as DI Alexander Blake, Cathy Belton as Ivy, Paul Bazely as Clarence, Simon Ludders as Mr. Potts, Tim Chipping as Detective Phelps, and Ansu Kabia as Moses. Per the Season 6 logline: “As Eliza and Blake’s once-fraught relationship begins to evolve, they find that working together may be a tricky prospect. Meanwhile, newlyweds Ivy and Potts adjust to married life, a new detective settles in at Scotland Yard, and Nash causes chaos, even from across the globe. Joining this season’s adventures in his greatly anticipated return is Moses Valentine, who swoops in to help Eliza and her crew, just when they need him most.” Miss Scarlet is created by Rachael New, and written by Rachael New and Ben Edwards. The executive producers are Harvey Myman, Susanne Simpson, Jin Ishimoto, Patrick Irwin, Ben Edwards, Patty Lenahan Ishimoto, and Rachael New. The Irish co-producer is Jim Duggan, while the Serbian co-producer Anđelija Vlaisavljević. The senior series producer for Masterpiece is Erin Delaney. Miss Scarlet will premiere on Dec. 7 via streaming with PBS or PBS Masterpiece on Prime Video. The series will have a broadcast premiere on Jan. 11 at 8/7c on PBS before the Season 6 premiere of All Creatures Great and Small.
