Fans of period dramas have been met with mixed emotions following the announcement that a cherished series will return for a final season.
This news comes amid excitement for an upcoming WWII film set to debut later this year, alongside a Netflix period drama that has drawn comparisons to HBO’s acclaimed Chernobyl.
The costume drama in question has been celebrated on IMDb, with one viewer praising it as “one of the best.” They highlighted the lead actor’s exceptional ability to convey emotion through facial expressions.
The reviewer added, “In my humble opinion, this series keeps getting better and stands as one of the finest productions for network television. I hope it enjoys the longevity of classic British series like Vera and Silent Witness.”
Another enthusiast awarded the show a perfect score, describing it as “An exceptional TV detective story that marries 21st-century perspectives with the grim realities of Victorian England, addressing issues like pollution, gender and class disparities, and poverty.”
They went on to praise the show further: “What truly makes this show exceptional are the costumes, the sets, the great chemistry between the two protagonist, and the relationships amongst the other characters that slowly develops throughout the six episodes [sic].”
Yet another 10/10 review stated: “Fresh look, captivating plot, beautifully portrayed characters, real feel of old atmosphere, close attention to detail.” The fan said they were “totally hooked” by the drama.
A third top-tier review was titled “Amazing period piece” and the individual wrote: “I joined PBS for this great masterpiece.
“The tension between the lead actors keeps me coming back for more. In this Downton Abbey meets Sherlock Holmes drama, each episode brings a more compelling reason to keep coming back for more.”
Miss Scarlet is confirmed to be coming to a close after its forthcoming seventh season after the show first hit screens back in 2020.
The show stars Peaky Blinders actress Kate Phillips in the lead role of Eliza Scarlet, the first female detective in Victorian London.
Miss Scarlet has not only been cracking cases but breaking through the glass ceiling at the same time with her work across the city.
In a statement seen by Deadline, the show’s creator Rachael New said: “Making Miss Scarlet has been the greatest joy of my professional career.
“Every stage of this beautiful show — from the writing, filming, editing and finally it reaching the screen – it has taken a whole village. A village of exceptionally talented people.
“From the wonderful exec team who first saw the potential in this story, to my brilliant writing partner Ben Edwards, the Belgrade production team, the Dublin post team and not least to our remarkable cast led by the magnificent Kate Philips, it has been a collaborative and beautiful experience.
“I’m very proud of how the final season plays out and the story we tell for Eliza.”
She concluded: “It’s a wrench to say goodbye to a character that I have lived and breathed for all these years, but Eliza will forever be with me whether on screen or off.”
Meanwhile, lead star Phillips said: “What a journey this has been. Miss Scarlet has been one of the greatest joys of my career, and I will forever be grateful to Rachael New for creating such a witty, sharp, and delightful character in Eliza.
“It’s been a privilege to work on a show crafted with so much love and dedication and as we prepare to say goodbye, I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved and the memories we’ve made.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported us — I can’t wait to share the farewell Miss Scarlet deserves.”
Along with Phillips, Miss Scarlet – previously titled Miss Scarlet and the Duke – also stars Tom Durant-Pritchard, Paul Bazely, Tim Chipping, Evan McCabe, Felix Scott, Cordelia Bugeja, and Ansu Kabia.
Work is currently taking place on season seven in Serbia on the final six episodes of the drama series.
