‘Miss Scarlet’ Final Season First Look: Nash & Fitzroy Return — Who’s Not Coming Back?

Miss Scarlet has revealed the first look at the seventh and final season, including the first photos at Patrick Nash (Felix Scott) and Oliver Fitzroy (Evan McCabe), who return to the series after a hiatus. While they’re primed for a return, Miss Scarlet‘s Season 7 cast won’t include some staple characters. As TV Insider previously reported, Ivy Potts (Cathy Belton) and Barnabas Potts (Simon Ludders) will not be in the six-episode final season, which has officially begun filming in Serbia.

Miss Scarlet Season 7 stars Kate Phillips, Tom Durant-Pritchard, and returning cast members Paul Bazely, Tim Chipping, Evan McCabe, Felix Scott, Cordelia Bugeja, and Ansu Kabia. The final season will wrap up the story of Eliza Scarlet, Victorian London’s first female private detective. PBS Masterpiece Mystery! shared the first plot details for Miss Scarlet Season 7 as part of the first look on Wednesday, September 30.

An unexpected new crime boss arrives in town in the final season, which will bring “Eliza and Blake’s journey to a thrilling and satisfying close,” per PBS.

“Inspired by her father’s work as a private eye, Eliza (Phillips) has spent the last six seasons breaking the glass ceiling while solving countless mysteries,” the description says. “She hasn’t done it alone though — within Scotland Yard she was first aided by her childhood friend William ‘The Duke’ Wellington (Stuart Martin) then by police Inspector and love interest Alexander Blake (Tom Durant-Pritchard). Colleagues Moses (Ansu Kabia) and Clarence (Paul Bazely) have backed her up on case after case, and Ivy (Cathy Belton) has been a mainstay of support at home.”

“In the final season, Eliza Scarlet has found love, but with it comes a new set of challenges, both on a professional and personal level,” it continues. “As she faces mounting pressures both at work and at home, she is reunited with familiar friendly faces, as well as a powerful new crime boss who has arrived in town — and it’s not who you might expect. Meanwhile, Blake’s promotion brings its own complications, as he finds himself answering to a surprising new boss with whom he shares a complicated history. Season 7 raises the stakes, deepens the drama, and brings Eliza and Blake’s journey to a thrilling and satisfying close.”

“What a journey this has been,” Phillips said in a statement. “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.”

Creator and writer Rachael New says: “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.”

Miss Scarlet first premiered in 2021. See the stars of Miss Scarlet Season 7 in the first photos from the final season, below. A premiere date will be announced at a later time, but it will be available to watch weekly on PBS and to stream via PBS Passport.
