How to watch Miss Scarlet season 5 online: stream Victorian crime drama's latest outing

Watch Miss Scarlet season 5 as the headstrong Victorian detective returns in search of a new partner. The latest batch of adventures are available to stream now on PBS Masterpiece and begin airing for FREE on PBS on January 12. Don't worry if you’re away from the US, because you can watch Miss Scarlet Season 5 from anywhere with a VPN .

You may have noticed the show referred to as simply Miss Scarlet throughout this article – that’s because The Duke is no more, with Eliza left to go it alone. Stuart Martin, who portrayed Inspector William “The Duke” Wellington announced his departure from the show in early 2024, saying: “It has been such an incredible joy to bring Duke to life through Rachael’s beautiful, brilliant writing, and to get to play him for the past four years. But it felt like the time was right for Scarlet to explore new stories and challenges for now, as the show continues to grow and evolve [...] but I’m excited to continue following Eliza and her escapades as a huge fan and newly enrolled Scarleteer!”

Story-wise, the trailer reveals that Wellington won’t be returning from his trip to America, but that doesn’t mean Eliza will be left to her own devices for long as Detective Inspector Alexander Blake (Tom Durant-Pritchard) arrives on the scene. However, with the former soldier not quite as comfortable as his predecessor when it comes to enlisting the aid of private detectives, Miss Scarlet will have to impress the new DI if she’s to remain involved in police proceedings.

Ready for life without The Duke? Here's how to watch Miss Scarlet Season 5 from anywhere in the world.

How to watch Miss Scarlet Season 5 from anywhere with a VPN

If you're traveling outside the US, you can watch Miss Scarlet season 5 on the PBS Masterpiece streaming service by using a VPN – no matter where you are in the world!

Normally a streaming service will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you're not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.

Our favorite VPN is NordVPN, which is the no. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
