Miss Scarlet and the Duke continues as a favourite of Victorian detective dramas on PBS Masterpiece because it combines sharp humour and engaging mysteries with the compelling development of a trail-blazing private investigator, amid the foggy streets of London in the late 1800s. Fans are still waiting for news regarding Season 7, which will likely feature more intelligent sleuthing, rich character development throughout Season 7, romantic drama involving DI Alexander Blake, and the same mix of suspenseful and humorous storytelling delivered in period-appropriate fashion, as they resolve the many emotional twists and turns established during Season 6’s finale in February of 2026.
As of mid-February 2026, there is still no official announcement from either the network or producers of Miss Scarlet regarding a seventh season being renewed or cancelled. Following its premiere on January 24, 2026, the sixth season has just completed airing in the PBS Masterpiece broadcast window as of February 15th.
The lack of an immediate confirmation for Miss Scarlet is not unusual; historically, the show has been slow in obtaining renewals. For instance, after season five, season six received its renewal in February 2025, and there was no indication of when the next season would be considered until after February 26, 2025. According to this same renewal cycle, a possible renewal announcement could be made sometime between February and April 2026, if Miss Scarlet receives a renewal.
When the seventh season does receive a renewal, it would likely target an early-2027 premiere similar to that of the sixth season’s typical release cadence. However, without a formal announcement from PBS, all dates are speculative at this time.
Miss Scarlet Season 7 Expected Cast
Regarding casting announcements, since season 7 has not been confirmed yet, nothing has been announced yet. However, if a season 7 is made, then the main cast of season 6 will probably all return in season 7.
The core cast includes Kate Phillipswho plays Eliza Scarlet, and Eliza’s independence at work and development at home have driven the story from the beginning of this series. Supporting actors have anchored the last few seasons of this show, which include Cathy Belton as Ivy and Ansu Kabia as Moses. Both of these actors will probably return if there is another season.
Stuart Martin left the show for a long time already, and with the extra time in the middle of season 6, Eliza’s relationship with DI Alexander Blake (played by Tom Durant-Pritchard) was further developed this season, and the growth of that relationship represents an important change for the show and is likely to continue into any future seasons.
As far as casting news from the show is concerned, please disregard anything you see online about people who are returning to the show until PBS or the production team makes an official announcement.
Miss Scarlet Season 7 Potential Plot
Season 7 of the show doesn’t have any official plot details yet, but there was plenty of room to continue from the end of Season 6. In the most recent episodes of this show, Eliza is trying to find her way between her reputation as a detective, her professional relationships, and her personal relationships. At the same time, the show has maintained the format of episodic Victorian mysteries throughout all episodes.
If the show is renewed for Season 7, it is likely that there will again be six episodes. The key to this show is the combination of stand-alone episodes with episodic character development within the longer character arcs. Many fans on social media have posted about how Season 6 could have further negative effects on Eliza’s career development and emotional status due to issues relating to being a female in a male-dominated world. However, they are all interpretations put out by fans and are not necessarily directions confirmed for Season 7.
There are also many online fans claiming that Season 7 has been confirmed or that characters from previous seasons will return for Season 7. This is mainly speculative, with the potential to conflict with the recent canon established by the show. Official platforms, such as PBS Masterpiece listings and reference databases, only show a total of six seasons as of right now.
PBS Masterpiece is the only reliable source for any future information regarding this show. Renewal information is not typically shared until after audience reactions and internal performance reviews are reviewed.
