Miss Scarlet season 6: Release date and latest news
The wait is almost over for fans in the UK.
Fans of Victorian era detective show Miss Scarlet have been waiting for some time to see season 6, particularly those in the UK, after it debuted in the US earlier this year.
Thankfully, the new season, which once again stars Kate Phillips as the titular private detective, is almost here, and it's set to be a big one, with a fan favourite character from the show's early years making a guest return.
The official synopsis for the new season says: "As Eliza and Blake’s once-fraught relationship begins to evolve, they find that working together may be a tricky prospect. Meanwhile, newlyweds Ivy and Potts adjust to married life, a new detective settles in at Scotland Yard, and Nash causes chaos, even from across the globe."
