The Victorian period drama Miss Scarlet and The Duke has already stirred up quite a few mysteries across its first four seasons, but the real question is will the series return for season 5? Premiering in 2020, the show follows Eliza Scarlet as she inherits her late father’s detective agency and teams up with seasoned Scotland Yard veteran William “The Duke” Wellington to crack cases. Putting a clever spin on the age-old detective tropes, Miss Scarlet and The Duke analyzes the Victorian era through a modern lens and explores issues like gender and sexuality while still delivering compelling mysteries.
Though the series has all the visual appeal of the most opulent period dramas, the greatest strength of Miss Scarlet and The Duke has always been its characters and its cozy atmosphere. The cozy British murder mystery series is nothing new, but Miss Scarlet adds plenty of visual interest while also going a fair bit deeper than the usual whodunnit when it comes to exploring contemporary social issues. The easy nature of the show has made it possible to renew it for additional seasons, and though season 5 is still forthcoming, it seems quite likely.
Miss Scarlet And The Duke Season 5 Is Not Confirmed
Since season 4 is still so new, it comes as no surprise that Miss Scarlet and The Duke season 5 hasn’t been given the green light yet. The show has been airing consistently since 2020, and unlike other British programs, hasn’t missed a year yet. Renewal orders have been coming in quite quickly for the show, and season 4 was picked up before season 3 even aired an episode (via Deadline). While no such season 5 news has come yet, a renewal order could come at any moment.
Miss Scarlet And The Duke Season 5 Cast
Though shows like Miss Scarlet and The Duke utilize a revolving cast of guest characters, the main cast of the series has remained largely consistent since the first episode. If and when Miss Scarlet and The Duke is renewed for season 5, fans can expect to see Kate Phillips reprise her role as enterprising detective Eliza Scarlet. She will be joined by her partner in crime-fighting William “Duke” Wellington, played by Stuart Martin.
The rest of the season 5 cast is expected to include:
Actor | Miss Scarlet And The Duke Role |
Ansu Kabia | Moses Valentine |
Cathy Belton | Ivy Woods |
Simon Ludders | Mr. Potts |
Ian Pirie | Monro |
Evan McCabe | Oliver Fitzroy |
Tim Chipping | Phelps |
Miss Scarlet And The Duke Season 5 Story
It is unclear exactly what will happen in Miss Scarlet and The Duke season 5 if the show is renewed, and it may hinge on the events of season 4. Season 4 sees the duo split up as Eliza accepts a job offer at Nash & Sons, but it’s clear that the two are naturally drawn together. Season 5 could see them reunited, or it could further explore their lives as they grow further apart as detectives and as friends. What is known, is that the season will feature a host of intriguing cases that use every bit of Eliza’s unique abilities.
