Miss Scarlet & The Duke (Victorian age cri-fi TV series).
Miss Scarlet and The Duke is a new period cri-fi TV drama series, starring Kate Phillips (Peaky Blinders, Wolf Hall) and Stuart Martin as a couple of Victorian investigators – one private (Kate) and one actual police (Stuart).
Here’s the official blurb:
In Victorian London, Eliza Scarlet is left penniless when her father dies. This is especially problematic in a time where marriage is the only option for financial security. Eliza resolves to continue her father’s detective agency. But to operate in such a male-dominated world of crime-solving she needs a male partner, and soon works with gruff womaniser Detective Inspector William Wellington, known as the Duke.
The premiere is arriving in the USA on Sunday, January 17th 2021 on PBS Masterpiece. Not sure about the UK, yet. Looks like some fluffy much-needed fun.
Miss Scarlet and The Duke premiered on Alibi channel in the UK on 31 March 2020, it is also available in most other European countries, Australia and New Zealand.

I had heard rumors that might be the case. It’s being marketed as all new, but maybe that’s just because it is in the USA (and obviously, all happenings outside the USA are just a share delusion of The Matrix, or something).
