The original Death in Paradise series is yet to announce who will replace Ralf Little as the lead detective of the fictional island of Saint Marie.
Death in Paradise fans can look forward to a new dose of fish-out-of-water detective action as production begins on a new spin-off – which introduces the franchise’s first female lead.
Anna Samson, who has starred in the Australian miniseries Dead Lucky and Wake in Fright, takes the lead as DI Mackenzie Clarke, the first woman to be a lead detective in the so-called “Paraverse”.
On Monday (8 April), the BBC announced that a new Australian series titled Return to Paradise has begun filming in Sydney and the Illawarra coastal region, following last year’s Kris Marshall-led spin-off Beyond Paradise.
