Miss Scarlet | Season 5

In Season 5, Kate Phillips returns as the fearless Miss Eliza Scarlet, though her best friend William "The Duke" Wellington (Stuart Martin) has sailed to New York. His departure shifts the series, opening fresh new paths for Eliza.

All Creatures Great and Small | Season 5

Everything audiences find irresistible about this series - the scenic Yorkshire Dales, colorful locals, compelling animal stories, and joyful pandemonium in a rural veterinary practice - is back for Season 5, along with the much-awaited reappearance of playful Tristan Farnon (Callum Woodhouse). Need more? There's an adorable newborn at Skeldale House; everyone is doting on wee baby Jimmy. Rejoin all your favorite cast and characters, including the imperial Pekingese pup, Tricki.

Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light

What do audiences get when celebrated actors the likes of Damian Lewis, Mark Rylance, and Jonathan Pryce are given material adapted from Booker Prize-winning author Hilary Mantel? The "best TV you'll see all year," according to The Guardian (UK). "Six hours of utter TV magic." Critics laud The Mirror and the Light, which traces the final climatic years of royal "fixer" Thomas Cromwell in Henry VIII's court. A sequel to the Peabody Award-winning Wolf Hall (2015), the show picks up in 1536 with Cromwell riding high as the king's closest advisor and the most feared figure of his time. How does it all unravel from there? Airdate & Preview: Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light premieres on PBS Sunday, March 23rd at 9/8c. (See the powerful trailer here.) You can catch up on the original Wolf Hall 's plot points, historical details, and character arcs in a special episode of the MASTERPIECE Studio podcast. Stream the original Wolf Hall from 2015 when you watch with PBS Passport.

Miss Austen

It's a much-lamented yet historical fact that Cassandra Austen opted to burn her renowned sister Jane's private letters - but why? The fictional miniseries Miss Austen takes Cassandra's epic decision and uses it to invent an affecting story about the loves and losses of both Austen women. This highly-anticipated period drama stars Keeley Hawes and is based on Gill Hornsby's 2021 bestselling novel of the same name - and we cannot wait! Airdate: Miss Austen arrives on MASTERPIECE Sunday, May 4, 2025 at 9/8c. (Fittingly, 2025 also marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth.)

Grantchester | Season 10

Longtime crowd-pleaser Grantchester will return for an impressive 10th season, with regular cast and characters all back in action, including that charismatic new vicar who's caught our eye - Rev. Alphy Kottaram (Rishi Nair). Alphy injects fresh storylines and vibrant energy to a whole new set of crimes that need solving alongside DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green). Grantchester is a "winning combination of a delightful and appealing amateur sleuth, articulate writing, and engaging mysteries to solve," according to TV Guide. Airdate: The Grantchester Season 10 airdate has not yet been announced. Stream full episodes from Grantchester Seasons 1 through 9 when you watch with PBS Passport.

The Marlow Murder Club | Season 2

This miniseries is a perfect fit for those seeking more light-hearted British mysteries. It literally whisks viewers away to an idyllic British town and has fun with a trio of sideline sleuths - a retired archaeologist, well-connect vicar's wife, and dog walker with access to her clients' homes - who take it upon themselves to solve local murders. "Peak cozy murder mystery material," says Decider. Samantha Bond leads the cast in this adaptation of the bestselling book series by Robert Thorogood, who also created Death in Paradise. Airdate: The Marlow Murder Club Season 2 has no premiere date announced as yet. Stream The Marlow Murder Club Season 1 when you watch with PBS Passport, an online, on-demand library of PBS programming available to PBS supporters.

Unforgotten | Season 6

In this long running, critically acclaimed show, veteran London detectives played by Sanjeev Bhaskar and Sinéad Keenan unravel the truth behind a single cold case murder from the past. Suspenseful and slow-building character arcs across an entire season elevate the show's procedural premise, letting viewers get to know suspects (and victims) more deeply. "The beauty of this drama is the way it allows us to emotionally invest in both police and suspects," says The Times (UK). Airdate: The premiere of Unforgotten Season 6 has not yet been made public. Stream full episodes of Unforgotten Seasons 1 to 5 when you support your local PBS station and access the member benefit, PBS Passport.

Maigret

MASTERPIECE will bring a brand-new and contemporary adaptation of Georges Simenon's beloved novels about streetwise Parisian Chief Inspector Jules Maigret to the small screen. (Simenon's Maigret books are the second best-selling detective series ever, behind only Sherlock Holmes.) Jules Maigret's unique superpower is his deep compassion for victims and suspects alike and his patient immersion into the environment of a crime, all of which lead to profound insights that we can't wait to see play out. Airdate: The Maigret release date has not been announced, though we know Benjamin Wainwright will lead an ensemble cast.

The Forsyte Saga

An elaborate, all-new take on The Forsyte Saga has been commissioned by MASTERPIECE in partnership with the UK production company behind Poldark and Victoria - so prepare to swoon! The brand-new period drama will be a fresh and sweeping reimagining of John Galsworthy's Nobel Prize-winning Forsyte stories about the wealthy, multi-generational family in 1880s London. Expect crisscrossing storylines of love, obsession, adultery, and ambition - this time with a focus on the formidable Forsyte women. Airdate: The Forsyte Saga premiere date has yet to be announced.

The Gold | Seasons 1 and 2

Hugh Bonneville will return to MASTERPIECE in this critically acclaimed true crime drama recounting one of Britain's largest and most notorious heists. The show dramatizes the events surrounding the theft of nearly £26 million in gold bullion as well as the crime's complex and high-stakes aftermath affecting the thieves and law enforcement alike. Airdate: It has not yet been announced when The Gold Seasons 1 and 2 will air on MASTERPIECE. Sign up for the MASTERPIECE email newsletter to get updates.
