Filming Wraps on 'Miss Scarlet' Season 5
Filming is officially complete on the fifth season of the newly rechristened Miss Scarlet, the popular drama's first without its original co-lead Stuart Martin (Jamestown), who played William Wellington, the titular Duke from the series' original name.
Masterpiece celebrated this milestone -- and transition to a new era -- with a cute behind-the-scenes clip featuring star Kate Phillips (Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light) playfully introducing new co-star Tom Durant Pritchard (This Is Going to Hurt) as Detective Inspector Alexander Blake, the newest member of Scotland Yard who will ostensibly be trying to fill the Duke's shoes.
We don't entirely know what a version of this series without the central will they / won't they relationship that defined its identity for so long will look like. The initial press materials surrounding Durant Pritchard's casting certainly make it sound as though his character is meant as a potential love interest for Eliza --- and Blake's striking resemblance to Wellington certainly implies she has A Type --- but it's unclear whether they'll give fans a chance to mourn what they lost before diving straight into more crime solving sexual tension.
