Rita Flint is the new housekeeper announced for Series 14, played by Hannah Bristow. The series is due on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in early 2027, so no broadcast episode appearance is listed yet.
The published production information establishes Rita’s role in the household and identifies Bristow as her performer. It does not yet provide an episode-by-episode introduction or a longer character history. This page will gain those details after the series has aired and reliable credits are available.
For now, Rita is best understood as a new member of the domestic world around Father Brown. The announcement places her in the continuing 1955 setting of the upcoming series. Her first case, relationships with the parish regulars and any later appearances remain unlisted until the programme confirms them.
