Miss Scarlet season 5: Release date and latest news

The intriguing period crime series “Miss Scarlet and the Duke” has garnered a steadily growing fanbase since its debut on U&Alibi, and this year promises exciting transformations, as the program has experienced significant modifications.

2024 saw the announcement that Stuart Martin, portraying the Duke, had departed the series. Consequently, the show was set to adopt a new name, just “Miss Scarlet.

Towards the end of the year, Tom Durant-Pritchard was added to the cast as the main character, a detective who took up work at Scotland Yard to replace the Duke, yet he didn’t hold private detectives in high regard.

However, let’s discuss what we currently understand about Miss Scarlet’s fifth season, and when fans might be able to watch it. Here’s a rundown of the latest updates on Miss Scarlet season 5.

When will Miss Scarlet season 5 be released?

In the United States, season 5 of Miss Scarlet is set to premiere on PBS Masterpiece on January 12, 2025, so American viewers won’t have much longer to wait!

I regret to inform UK enthusiasts that they’ll need to exercise a bit more patience as we haven’t received an exact airing date, but the season is expected to broadcast on U&Alibi sometime in 2025.

We will keep this page updated as and when we get any further news.

In the upcoming season, Alexander Blake, the fresh detective, is set to join Scotland Yard as the Duke departs for America. Regrettably for Miss Scarlet, he swiftly makes up his mind to bar private detectives from participating in his ongoing investigations.

As they both go about their work in London, they gradually find themselves intersecting. Over time, a growing admiration for each other emerges, potentially blossoming into something more.

This season’s hint, given by executive producer Patty Ishimoto, includes the following elements: “A wedding takes place, Eliza has a date, the British Intelligence Agency steps in, and unexpectedly, an adult sheds tears as if he were a baby (though not the person you might expect).

Who will star in Miss Scarlet season 5?

In the upcoming season of Miss Scarlet and the Duke, several stars from past seasons are set to return, including Kate Phillips as Miss Scarlet. However, one notable character will not be returning – Stuart Martin who played William ‘The Duke’ Wellington.

The news about his exit from the series broke in early 2024, with Martin expressing in a statement: “It’s been an extraordinary pleasure to embody Duke thanks to [series creator] Rachael [New]’s captivating, genius writing, and I’ve enjoyed playing him for the past four years.

However, it seemed that Scarlet was ready to venture into fresh tales and obstacles at this point, since the series is expanding and transforming further.

I’ll surely cherish collaborating with my exceptional colleague, Kate, and our outstanding group, but I can’t wait to keep up with Eliza’s adventures as an enthusiastic supporter and newly inducted member of the Scarlet Crew!

Martin’s leaving the show certainly opened up an opportunity for a fresh leading actor, which was fulfilled by Tom Durant-Pritchard in Season 5, portraying the role of the new inspector character named Alexander Blake.

Alexander joins the force at Scotland Yard to replace the Duke, who has gone to America.

According to Durant-Pritchard, it’s a delight for him to join the team and be part of the Scarlet family. Collaborating with Kate has always been a cherished aspiration, and she’s been incredibly warm and inviting.

Here’s a full list of the central cast for Miss Scarlet season 5:
