What Happens in Miss Scarlet Season 6?

When we last saw Eliza Scarlet, her life seemed out of balance. A new Detective Inspector had taken charge at Scotland Yard; one with no intention of enlisting her services. But true to form, Eliza didn’t back down. Through grit and brilliance, she earned the DI’s respect. And Eliza’s maternal housekeeper decided to marry coroner Barnabus Potts as Season 5 wrapped – what will that mean for the household?

Now as a new chapter begins, we wonder: Will Eliza continue to pour everything into the job, or will she attend to her personal life?

Read the cast and show creator’s hopes for and hints about Season 6.

MASTERPIECE Mystery! has published five first-look images that offer a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come. See if you can spot the surprise return of a fan-favorite character!
