The Trailer for 'Miss Scarlet & The Duke' Season 2 Reignites Her Agency

Miss Scarlet and the Duke was one of PBS' biggest new debuts of the 2020s so far. The series is a perfect blend of British period piece, mystery-of-the-week, romantic comedy, and female-first programming. As a series spearheaded by Alibi, Masterpiece had to work extra hard to get it renewed and wound up taking point on production to make a second season. The delay meant the series, whose first season arrived as a January premiere, was pushed back to Fall.

As a result, Miss Scarlet joins two other female-fronted mysteries as part of an October trio of programs, alongside Lesley Manville's Magpie Murders and Nicola Walker's Annika. Of the three, this is the only one that's not a new debut, though it's not alone in having already been renewed before broadcast. Annika is already greenlit for a second season, while Miss Scarlet will be back for another round of episodes in early 2023.

The new season of Miss Scarlet and the Duke will see Miss Eliza Scarlet, having put her father's ghost to rest, begin to push her detective agency to the public's bewilderment. Meanwhile, William 'The Duke' Wellington will have a new boss, a new sidekick, and a new raft of cases, on top of dealing with Eliza Scarlet, who will meddle in any case she thinks she can solve.
