Miss Scarlett & The Duke~

Premières Sunday, January 17, 2021 8/7c on MASTERPIECE!

Set in gritty, foggy, Victorian London, Miss Scarlet & The Duke abounds with enough ruffians, corruption, and underground gangs keep Scotland Yard overworked (and to delight the most discerning mystery fan)

Over Season 1’s six episodes, you’ll root for Eliza and her ever-growing band of outsiders as she navigates a man’s world using her guile, wit, and intellect to crack the case and prove herself

The incomparable Eliza Scarlet is played by Kate Phillips (Peaky Blinders, The Crown, the Downton Abbey movie), who MASTERPIECE viewers may remember from Wolf Hall and My Mother and Other Strangers, and Stuart Martin (Jamestown, Medici) plays rakish charmer William Wellington. Just a few of the other big talents in this ensemble include Kevin Doyle (Downton Abbey’s Molesley) as Eliza’s beloved father, Henry; and actor Ansu Kabia (World on Fire‘s Eddie Knight) as Eliza’s formidable antagonist/ally, Moses (Kabia returns to MASTERPIECE in The Long Song at 10pm on January 31). Andrew Gower, the actor playing Eliza’s ambivalent wooer Rupert Parker, appeared in Poldark Season 5, while the actress behind Poldark‘s Morwenna, Ellise Chappell, has a guest turn in Episode 1. Longtime MASTERPIECE viewers may even recognize Mr. Selfridge‘s villainous Lord Loxley, Aidan McArdle, in Episode 1!
