JANUARY’S BEST
MISS SCARLET ON MASTERPIECE
As season 6 begins, Miss Eliza Scarlet is doing her best to have it all. Her business is thriving, but her personal life enters new territory as she attempts to follow her heart and develop a relationship with Inspector Alexander Blake. Eliza may be an expert solving crimes, but she’s very much a novice when it comes to love. Can Eliza juggle the twin demands of her personal and professional life?
The first of six new episodes of Miss Scarlet on Masterpiece airs January 11 at 7 p.m.
2026 IOWA STATE DANCE TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS Nearly 5,000 of Iowa’s top high school and college dancers competed in the 2026 Iowa State Dance Team Championships. Teams from 245 high schools and 26 colleges brought their best to one of the largest and most prestigious competitions of its kind in the nation. Iowa PBS’s exclusive coverage of the event showcases highlights of all of the winning routines and busy backstage action. FINDING YOUR ROOTS For more than a decade, renowned Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. has helped to expand America’s sense of itself, stimulating a national conversation about identity with humor, wisdom and compassion. Over the course of the 10 new episodes, Gates and his team will use genealogical detective work and cutting-edge DNA analysis to uncover the stories that bring his guests’ ancestors to life. Finding Your Roots season 12 premieres January 6 at 7 p.m.
2026 Iowa State Dance Team Championships premieres January 17 at 7 p.m.
NOVA: ASTEROIDS: SPARK OF LIFE? Imagine a time when Earth was a molten, volcanic wasteland, constantly bombarded by colossal asteroids. We’ve long feared these cosmic impacts as destroyers of life – just ask the dinosaurs – but what if they were the key to our very existence? Explore a revolutionary new theory suggesting that these violent collisions provided the essential ingredients – water, minerals, and energy – needed for life to ignite on our planet.
NOVA: Asteroids: Spark of Life? airs January 28 at 7 p.m.
