A+E Networks International’s scripted series, Miss Scarlet and the Duke, earned ratings success on Seven Network Australia and UKTV in the U.K.
After premiering in March 2020 on Alibi, the A+E Networks co-pro ranked as the number one program on Alibi in the U.K. In Australia, the series debuted in June 2020 on 7TWO and ranked at the top in its timeslot as well as ranking as the number one program over the last 12 months among key demographics. The crime drama will debut in the U.S. as part of PBS’s Masterpiece programming on January 17, 2021.
Co-produced by A+E International and Element 8 Entertainment, Miss Scarlet and the Duke tells the story of the first-ever female detective in Victorian London. After her father’s death, Eliza Scarlet takes over her father’s detective agency, which she is determined to make successful. She teams up with The Duke to solve crimes in the murkiest depths of 1880s London.
Patrick Vien, group managing director, International, A+E Networks, commented, “Miss Scarlet and the Duke is an ideal primetime show for a very broad and truly global audience that loves great detective stories and a constant love-tension between two lead characters. This already popular series is but one remarkable example of A+E’s compelling, first-run hits amongst the 800 hours of fresh content we presented at MIPCOM 2020.”
