The 'Miss Scarlet' Season 5 Teaser Gives Us Our First Look at Eliza's New Partner

The first teaser for the newly rechristened Miss Scarlet is here and, despite the dramatic behind the scenes changes that took place following the series' fourth season, the first footage from Season 5....doesn't feel all that different from what's come before.

The teaser trailer does includes a reference to the departure of former lead Stuart Martin, in a quick line clarifying that Inspector Wellington won't be returning from America. But it contains little in the way of details about Eliza's reaction to this news. Instead, it essentially serves as a mini-introduction to the man who'll be taking his place.

Tom Durant Pritchard (This is Going to Hurt) plays the handsome former soldier turned Scotland Yard detective Alexander Blake, a man who repeatedly insists he doesn't use private detectives in the same way his predecessor did. Eliza seems determined to change that, understandable since most of her business came through her connections with the Yard, and the brief clip highlights the tension between them as they cross paths at a crime scene and banter in a stairwell.
