Miss Scarlet Season 6 centers Eliza Scarlet and affirms her independence

Collider reports that Season 6 of the PBS Masterpiece series Miss Scarlet continues to place Eliza Scarlet at the story’s center after the departure of William Wellington, giving Kate Phillips room to lead the show.

The review says Season 6 finds Eliza professionally secure, creatively independent and allowed a wider emotional range. The season leans into a developing romantic and professional partnership with Inspector Alexander Blake (Tom Durant-Pritchard), a pairing built on mutual respect and trust that does not require Eliza to compromise who she is.

Season 6 also refreshes the ensemble: Moses (Ansu Kabia) returns after a reduced presence in Season 5, Clarence (Paul Bazely) and others add levity, Ivy (Cathy Belton) and Mr. Potts (Simon Ludders) continue their arc, and Detective George Willows (Sam Buchanan) is introduced at Scotland Yard. The series keeps a one-case-per-episode procedural structure but emphasizes character-driven storytelling under showrunner Rachael New.

The finale’s choices are described as consistent with the season’s themes and emotionally satisfying, even if not strictly historical, providing closure without finality. A seventh season has not been announced, and Miss Scarlet broadcasts on PBS weekly on Sundays at 8/7c.
