The Duke and All Creatures Great and Small, two of PBS Masterpiece’s most popular shows, will air in the United States in the near future. The network is hoping to keep up the momentum with a new series on Winston Churchill’s wife, Clementine, in development later this year and an adaptation of Magpie Murders that will air later this year. As of January 8, 2023, Miss Scarlet and The Duke will begin the third season, following its second debut on October 16. After the death of her father, Eliza Scarlett (Peaky Blinders’ Kate Phillips) is threatened with poverty. It’s impossible for her to have a spouse, therefore she has no choice but to run her father’s detective service even if it’s deemed inappropriate for a woman.
It’s difficult for her to get into the male-dominated field of crime solving, so she enlists the aid of her friend, Scotland Yard detective inspector William “The Duke” Wellington (Stuart Martin). An early look at Season 2 of the groundbreaking series hinted at a return to form with greater romantic tension between the crime-solving team in Season 2. The first of two new seasons of All Creatures Great and Small will premiere in the fall of 2019. The series, which followed James Herriot’s (Nicholas Ralph) travels in the Yorkshire Dales, received high praise from reviewers and viewers alike for its upbeat and cheerful tone.
After he marries Helen Alderson (Rachel Shenton) and starts a family, James finds himself in the middle of a world war that impacts everyone around him. The show’s core ensemble, including Samuel West, Anna Madeley, Callum Woodhouse, and Patricia Hodge, will all return for the forthcoming season. On January 8, 2023, at 9 p.m. ET on PBS, the third season of the show will premiere following its presentation at the Television Critics Association. Magpie Murders, a novel by author Anthony Horowitz and starring The Crown’s Lesley Manville, will also be shown at the TCAs.
After its premiere in the United Kingdom, the show got great praise from reviewers, making it an ideal choice for Masterpiece. It’s based on two distinct yet intertwined mysteries. Susan Ryeland (Manville) explores the missing chapters of Alan Conway’s final Atticus Pünd book, which may provide light on the mystery of his death. Alan’s death is shown in the past, producing a meta-Agatha Christie-style whodunit where viewers are forced to figure out both the novel’s ending and what happened to Alan. The first episode of this six-part series will air on October 16th. In addition, the Clementine Churchill series, now named Mrs Churchill, which explores the wife of one of Britain’s most well-known prime leaders, has been added to the list of announcements.
Following Clementine’s life, including how she met Winston and became a mother, shows how her historic efforts saved the United Kingdom from the menace of Nazism and the depth of her character. ‘ Maven Screen Media, Origin Pictures and Sayoko Teitelbaum are working with Masterpiece on the project. Scriptwriter Margaret Nagle, who was nominated for an Emmy for her work on Boardwalk Empire, is joining the series’ creative team. In addition to what was stated here, PBS Masterpiece is still going strong with its original programmes. Miss Austen, a film on Jane Austen’s relationship with her sister, is also in the works, but no release date has been given.
