Period drama fans have been captivated by Miss Scarlet, a Victorian-era crime series starring Peaky Blinders actress Kate Phillips. The show, created by Rachael New, follows Eliza Scarlet as she takes over her father's detective agency in 1882 London, navigating a male-dominated field with the help of her childhood friend, Detective Inspector William Wellington, played by Stuart Martin.
The series premiered in 2020 and has since produced six seasons, with a seventh and final season currently in production. The first season was filmed in Dublin, with later seasons shot in Belgrade, Serbia. All six seasons are available to stream for free on U, making it ideal weekend viewing.
Fans have praised the show for its steamy romance and intense storytelling. One IMDb user described it as 'exceptional' and 'not to be missed,' while another called it 'the best period drama yet.' Creator Rachael New expressed pride in the final season, saying, 'Making Miss Scarlet has been the greatest joy of my professional career.'
