What is 'Miss Scarlet' about?
Miss Scarlet follows the headstrong Miss Scarlet (Phillips), who sets off to be the first female private detective when she decides to take over her father’s business after he unexpectedly dies. To find cases and clients, she snoops on the cases her childhood friend, William “The Duke” Wellington (Stuart Martin), a police detective, is working on.

William’s co-workers at Scotland Yard nicknamed him “The Duke” because of his last name, Wellington—as in the Duke of Wellington.
Why did The Duke not return?
It’s unclear if the decision to have Miss Scarlet go it alone was a creative one or a business one. Both stars and the series creator have offered veiled comments on the show’s new direction after Martin exited the series after Season 4.
Stuart Martin—who plays The Duke—says, “It has been such an incredible joy to bring Duke to life through Rachael’s beautiful, brilliant writing, and to get to play him for the past four years. But it felt like the time was right for Scarlet to explore new stories and challenges for now, as the show continues to grow and evolve. I will miss working with my amazing partner in crime Kate and the rest of our brilliant family and team, but I’m excited to continue following Eliza and her escapades as a huge fan and newly enrolled Scarleteer!”
What will happen in Season 7 of 'Miss Scarlet'?
