Death in Paradise season 14 will be on our screens very soon, with the BBC confirming that fans will be able to settle in with the premiere on Friday 31 January at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
Season 14 will have an entirely different feel as the island welcomes a new detective following DI Neville Parker’s (Ralf Little) departure, with DI Mervin Wilson being introduced in the 2024 Christmas special. However, it’s not all new faces, as a familiar star has also confirmed that they are returning to the show. Find out more…
Following Neville’s departure to see more of the world with Florence at his side, there is a detective role at the St Marie police station which is filled by new Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson, played by Don Gilet.
The synopsis for the new season reads: “Following the recently cracked case of ‘who shot the Santas?’, along with the revelation that his estranged mother has passed away, Mervin is ready to get back home and leave the island for good.
“But when a case close to the hearts of those at the station presents itself, is he tempted to extend his stay? As Mervin continues to ruffle feathers, the police team pulls together to solve some of the island’s most confounding cases yet.”
It has been revealed that Sergeant JP Hooper himself Tobi Bakare will be returning to the island, alongside a series of amazing guest guests including Kaos actress Michelle Greenidge, Dreamland’s Joy Richardson, Boiling Point’s Stephen Odubola and The Acolyte’s Anthony J. Abraham.
