Death In Paradise

Bringing some much-needed sunshine to UK screens in January, BBC One returns to the idyllic Caribbean island of Saint Marie, for the third series of hit murder mystery, Death In Paradise.

In a shocking twist of events, series three of the ratings-smash series sees the tragic murder of DI Richard Poole, played by Ben Miller (Primeval, Armstrong & Miller) and the arrival of new detective, DI Humphrey Goodman, played by Kris Marshall (My Family, Love Actually).

Battling their grief and determined to catch the killer of their friend, Camille (Sara Martins), Fidel (Gary Carr) and Dwayne (Danny John-Jules) are joined by DI Humphrey Goodman to help them get to the bottom of the tragic and mysterious case. Unfortunately, Humphrey’s naturally bumbling and accident-prone ways mean he doesn’t make a great first impression…

Acclaimed actors lined up to guest star in the new series include Michelle Ryan (Jekyll, Merlin), Helen Baxendale (Cold Feet, Cuckoo), Peter Davison (Doctor Who, At Home With The Braithwaites), Clarke Peters (The Wire) and Raza Jaffrey (Smash).

Filmed on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, Death In Paradise, has gone from strength to strength over the past two series, bringing in an average of almost eight million viewers each episode* of the second series.

Death In Paradise is a Red Planet Pictures production in association with BBC Worldwide, produced with the support of the region of Guadeloupe. It is created by Robert Thorogood and the executive producers are Tony Jordan and Belinda Campbell for Red Planet Pictures and Polly Hill for BBC One. The new series airs in January 2014.
