Masterpiece PBS announced today that Miss Scarlet has been renewed for a seventh and final season. The period drama is currently filming the six episodes that will conclude the British detective's story.

"Making Miss Scarlet has been the greatest joy of my professional career," said creator and writer Rachael New. "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."

"What a journey this has been," said star Kate Phillips. "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."

The British-American series premiered for US audiences in 2021 as part of Masterpiece's 50th anniversary lineup, becoming an instant hit with audiences and critics. It follows Eliza Scarlet, Victorian London's first-ever female detective, who won't let anyone stop her from keeping her late father's agency running.
