What's Ahead in Season 5
As the all-new season kicks off, Eliza Scarlet is once again back at it with her own agency and this time around, it’s certainly thriving. But while her professional life may be on a successful path, on the personal side, the Duke has now been away in New York for several months, leaving Eliza to make a difficult decision. Meanwhile, a new Detective Inspector, Alexander Blake (Tom Durant-Pritchard, The Crown, Tom Jones) comes to Scotland Yard and she must navigate building a relationship with him if she’s going to continue having access to police resources. All these changes and decisions beg the question: Can Eliza Scarlet really have it all?

Season 5 Teasers from the Cast
Don’t just take our word for it — the cast shared some tantalizing teasers for the all-new season for Scarleteers and MASTERPIECE Mystery! fans alike to savor while counting down the days until the premiere.
Kate Phillips (Eliza): “When it comes to Eliza’s independence, before William’s departure, she was always independent and knew what she wanted. So that hasn’t changed with his departure. I think what we do begin to see is a real softening in her.”
When it comes to newcomer Tom Durant-Pritchard and his character Alexander Blake, Phillips added: “Tom brings such a grounded, intelligent energy to Blake, but a real twinkle in his eye. So we know that there’s going to be a journey there with him and Eliza.”
(Check out a fun, behind-the-scenes video from the Season 5 set featuring Phillips introducing fans to Durant Pritchard!)
Tom Durant-Pritchard (Alexander Blake): “What can I let you know about this season? Let you into some little secrets? Well, you will firstly get to meet Alexander Blake and you will see a relationship of sorts with Eliza blossoming over the episodes, and I guess we’ll just have to see what happens.”
Cathy Belton (Ivy): “[Ivy’s] love of the independent career woman and her love of the woman that she was reared to be, [to] settle down and be happy and stay at home…those two things come to a really, really heartbreaking boil this season.”
Evan McCabe (Fitzroy):“Fitzroy will be overcoming a hardship that I think has been ailing him through a lot of previous seasons. I think we’re finally going to see him come to terms with it.”
Felix Scott (Nash):“We find Nash in a bit of a pickle in prison and licking his wounds. So I think he has a lot of his home comforts to keep him happy within the four walls.”
Paul Bazely (Clarence): “Clarence is a natural follower. He wants a strong leader. Mr. Nash was that leader and now I think he’s just transferred all his affections to Miss Scarlet. I think he’s devoted to her… What’s very exciting for Clarence this season is that he gets to leave the office, because I never had any scenes outside the office last year, and this year that means I get a coat and I get to wear my coat outside.”

The Inside Scoop
Miss Scarlet‘s Executive Producer Patty Ishimoto also divulged a few thrilling, exclusive teasers (a holiday gift for all!) for the new season — ones that have us on the edge of our seats, pens and notepads in hand, and ready to crack a few cases wide open.
MASTERPIECE: What 5 words would you use to describe Season 5?
Ishimoto: Celebratory, Comic, Caperful, Compassionate, Conflict
MASTERPIECE: Can you share some teasers from Season 5?
Ishimoto: There’s a wedding. Eliza goes on a date. The British Secret Service gets involved. A grown man cries like a baby (but not who you’d suspect). The ever charming (imprisoned) Patrick Nash finds himself in quite a precarious predicament. Clarence gets a coat. Ivy finds her calling — and it’s not in the kitchen…
MASTERPIECE: What should fans know about Alexander Blake before they meet him in Season 5?
Ishimoto: In addition to being tall, dark, and handsome, he’s well-traveled, worldly, and refuses to work with private detectives. Plus, he has a surprising secret.
MASTERPIECE: How did the cast react to Tom’s arrival?
Ishimoto: Tom has been warmly embraced by the cast and is a welcome addition to the Scarlet Supper Club.
MASTERPIECE: Is there one particular scene you are excited for fans to see in the new season? (No spoilers, of course.)
Ishimoto: The wedding… and what unfolds after the wedding party.
