Death in Paradise is acrime television series created byRobert Thorogood, starringBen Miller (Series 1–3),Kris Marshall (Series 3–6),Ardal O'Hanlon (Series 6–9),Ralf Little (Series 9–13) andDon Gilet (Series 14–present).
The programme is filmed on the FrenchCaribbean island ofGuadeloupe. It is broadcast onBBC One in the United Kingdom,France 2 in France,PBS in the United States, andPrime in New Zealand (with repeats onBBC UKTV), and onFoxtel's BBC First channel,ABC,9Gem in Australia and repeat episodes onA3S (A Tres Series) Spanish tv channel.
Since its debut,Death in Paradise has enjoyed high viewing figures and a generally positive critical reception, leading to repeated renewals.[1] The most recent series, series 14, wrapped on March 28, 2025. The series is currently renewed for at least one more series, airing until 2026.[2]
A spin-off series,Beyond Paradise, starring Marshall's character Humphrey Goodman, began airing in 2023. A second spin-off,Return to Paradise, made for ABC television in Australia and BBC One, debuted in 2024.[3]
Detective InspectorRichard Poole (Ben Miller) is sent from theMetropolitan Police in London to investigate the murder of a British police officer on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie, aBritish Overseas Territory with a French colonial history.[4][5] After he finds the murderer, he is ordered by his supervisors to replace the victim and stay on as theDetective Inspector (DI) of the island, much to his dismay, solving new cases as they appear and being the object of many fish-out-of-water jokes.[6]
At the start of Series 3, Poole is murdered, and clumsyLondon Detective InspectorHumphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) arrives to investigate the death of hisdeadpan predecessor. He then stays on the island permanently as the new detective, after his wife informs him she is leaving him. In the second half of Series 6, he resigns so he can start a new life in London with his girlfriend Martha Lloyd, after forming a relationship with her while she was staying at Saint Marie on holiday.
Goodman's replacement on Saint Marie is DIJack Mooney (Ardal O'Hanlon), a recent widower who is grieving the loss of his wife and who assisted the team on a case in London. Mooney embraces island life and remains on Saint Marie until mid-way through Series 9, when he decides he is ready to face the memory of his deceased wife and returns to London to be with his daughter.
Mooney's replacement is DI Neville Parker (Ralf Little), who initially dislikes being on the island and has severe allergies, especially to bug bites. He comes to the island only because the team needs a British detective to sign off on a case, and is forced to stay longer after a period of illness renders him temporarily unfit to travel. However, he decides to remain on the island and eventually warms to the island lifestyle. He stays until Series 13, when he departs to travel and be in a relationship with formerDetective Sergeant (DS)Florence Cassell (Joséphine Jobert).
During the Christmas 2024 special, Commissioner Patterson (Don Warrington) calls London for a replacement DI to lead investigations in Saint-Marie. DI Mervin Wilson (Don Gilet) happens to be visiting the island on holiday. As he is boarding the aircraft to take him away from the 'slow-paced' island, he receives a telephone call from his superior ordering him to stay and solve the murder. Although Wilson is annoyed by island life, a personal connection to Saint Marie spurs him to remain there.

WhileDeath in Paradise has continued to be in the top three most popular programmes on British television, critics have called the crime drama "unremarkable" and "an undemanding detective show, with nice Caribbean scenery."[9]
The show is known for itsformulaic approach to its plots[10] with each episode roughly the same in length, style and narrative structure. Each episode begins with a pre-credits sequence showing the events leading up to a murder and often the discovery of the body afterwards; this sequence also serves to introduce that particular episode's guest characters.[11] The police force of Saint Marie is subsequently informed of the murder, preliminary investigations and interviews take place to establish the suspects, and photographs of the suspects and crime scene are placed on thewhiteboard at police headquarters.[12]
Often towards the end, the lead DI will have a moment of realisation, perhaps brought on by something that someone says or does, or by some occurrence. At this moment, thehow, why, and who of the murder are comprehended by the DI, but are not revealed to the audience. The suspects are then gathered, and the DI talks through the evidence; often,flashbacks are used to show what happened. The murderer and the motive are revealed in thedénouement of the episode.[13] Gathering the suspects, going through the events and finally identifying, and arresting the murderer is based on the techniqueAgatha Christie uses in theMiss Marple stories, and some of theHercule Poirot ones.
Normally, each episode ends with a comedic scene or a celebratory trip by the police officers to Catherine's bar.[14] The final episode of most series has included a subplot wherein the lead DI is tempted to return to the UK by the prospect of a job offer or personal relationship, but in the end, he decides to remain on the island.
This format was subverted in the sixth series, when the two-part storyline in the fifth and sixth episodes saw the team travel to London to follow up on a current case, resulting in Goodman deciding to remain to be with his new girlfriend, Martha; Mooney travelled back to Saint-Marie, initially as a holiday to help escape the memory of his recently deceased wife, but decided to remain as the new detective inspector of the island. This format was also subverted in the ninth series; Mooney decided to return to Britain mid-way through the series as he felt that he was ready to face the memory of his dead wife, with the new inspector (DI Neville Parker) initially coming to the island just to sign off on a particular body but kept for a few weeks for health reasons before he decided to remain to face a new challenge. Parker remains the DI on the island until the end of Series 13, when he departs the island to go travelling with his former DS Florence Cassell.
Death in Paradise is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie, described in episode 3.3 as a "pretty island" that is "situated in the EasternCaribbean Sea". In episode 4.5, it is mentioned that Martinique is "a good 70 miles". Saint Marie is "one-tenth the size of its north-west neighbourGuadeloupe"; this would make Saint Marie about 63 square miles (160 km2) in size. Saint Marie is aBritish Overseas Territory, but about 30% of its people are French, due to its previous history, with thelanguage still widely spoken.
The back-story appears to be a blend of two real-world islands near Guadeloupe, with size and location aligning withMarie-Galante and history and language aligning withDominica. In the TV show, the fictional Saint Marie island has avolcano,rainforest,sugar plantations, a fishing harbour, an airport, a university, a convent, approximately 100 public beaches and aCrown Court. It also has its own newspaper,The Saint Marie Times, a radio station,Radio Saint Marie, and a television station,Saint Marie Broadcasting Corporation (SMBC). Its vehicles have French number plates, and motor vehicles drive on the right. Police uniforms are also French, not British. The police hierarchy is a blend of French and British, as the Detective Inspectors are British and the Commissioner reports to the Chief Commissioner in Jamaica (formerly a British territory), while the Internal Affairs team is from France.
Honoré, the name of the main town, is a reference to St Honoré, the setting ofA Caribbean Mystery byAgatha Christie. The town has a leisure/commercialmarina, market, bars and restaurants as well as the police station. The neighbouring town to Honoré is named Port Royal. Saint Marie's main economic ties are to Guadeloupe, the UK and France. The island's main religions areCatholicism andVoodoo, with several religious festivals featuring in the programme, including theSaint Ursula Festival (in reality, a major festival of theVirgin Islands) and some Voodoo festivals.[citation needed]
Series 3, episode 7 is largely set on an islet just off Saint Marie; it is privately owned and relatively small. This episode was actually filmed on the island of Kahouanne, around 1.2 miles (1.9 km) off the northwest coast ofGuadeloupe where the series is normally filmed. It can often be seen in the background from a beach on Saint Marie. Series 6, Episodes 5 and 6 are largely set in London, when Goodman, Cassell, and Officer Myers form a liaison team with Mooney in order to track down suspects in a murder investigation in Saint Marie and later to investigate the murder of one of the suspects.
Other fictional islands (Saint Felix, Saint Helene, Saint Barnabas, and Saint Auguste) have featured throughout the series, with the Saint Marie police responsible for overseeing their local law enforcement.

Danny John-Jules, the longest-tenured actor in the series other thanDon Warrington andElizabeth Bourgine, did not return for series eight and was replaced by Shyko Amos, who plays Commissioner Selwyn Patterson's niece, Ruby.[17] John-Jules cited his reason for exiting the show as wanting to leave "on a high".[18] Both Shyko Amos and Aude Legastelois-Bidé left the show at the conclusion of series 9.
In addition to the human characters, a recurring animal character is "Harry", a lizard who lives at the Detective Inspector's bungalow. He appears in almost every episode and acts as a sounding board for the Detective Inspector to discuss the status of the current case and his life experiences. Harry is computer-generated.[24]

The series is filmed on the French archipelago ofGuadeloupe in theLesser Antilles, mainly in the commune ofDeshaies (which doubles for the town of Honoré on the fictional island of Saint Marie), with the help of theBureau d'accueil des tournages de la Région Guadeloupe.[25] The site of the Honoré police station is a church hall in Deshaies (built c.1850s),[26] with the priest's office appearing as the incident room.[27]
Filming series 1 was particularly difficult, due to the lack of infrastructure inGuadeloupe for long-term filming, as well as the fact thatSara Martins, the actress who playsDS Camille Bordey, broke her leg in the middle of filming, causing her to be almost entirely written out of episode 6 of series 1 and causing difficulties during the filming of episodes 7 and 8.[28]
Miller left the series at the start of series 3, as he felt he was spending too much time away from his family, since his wife was unable to join him on the island during production. Marshall's family joined him on the island during his first three six-month shoots and his son, Thomas, enrolled at a local school. When his family could not join him during the filming of the sixth series, following the birth of his baby daughter, Elsie, it left him feeling "bereft and empty" and he subsequently decided to leave the show.[29]
From episode 7 of the sixth series, the lead role was taken byArdal O'Hanlon playing DI Jack Mooney, a London colleague.[30]Joséphine Jobert left the series after episode 6 of the eighth series and was replaced by actress Aude Legastelois, who plays Madeleine Dumas. Jobert cited her reason for exiting the show as wanting to "focus on other projects". O'Hanlon confirmed he had left the show in October 2019, with his last appearance coming in series 9, episode 4.[31] His replacement,Ralf Little who plays DI Neville Parker, was revealed the same month.[32]
In July 2020, the BBC announced the departure of Shyko Amos and Legastelois, along with the return of Jobert and the arrival of newcomerTahj Miles as Marlon Pryce.[33][34]
In January 2022, in the fourth episode of series 11, Jobert left the show for the second time after her character left the island. Her departure had not been previously announced. She returned again for the third time in series 13, episode six, broadcast in March 2024. Meanwhile,Tahj Miles departed the island as Marlon Pryce the episode beforehand, he was replaced by Dwayne Myers, who had previously left.Ralf Little departs as Neville at the end of the series, with Florence, as they express their love for each other.[35]

According to aRadio Times article in 2018, "From Australia to Russia to India, stretching across 236 territories, this British crime comedy-drama has become a global phenomenon."[39]
The series has received mixed reviews from critics, with most criticism directed towards its formulaic structure. The first series was praised for its refreshing style and setting. Kris Marshall's introduction at the start of series 3 was particularly well received, with Rebecca Smith ofThe Daily Telegraph citing Marshall as a "winning addition" to the cast.[40] The series 4 premiere was described as "a little piece of escapism" and was generally praised. Mark Monahan ofThe Daily Telegraph criticised the laid-back tone of the series, calling it too methodical with nothing unique about it besides the setting.[41]
There have also been media comments aboutcolonialism andracism.[42] After the first episode aired in 2011,Metro TV critic Keith Watson wrote that "the idea of parachuting a policeman into a colonial setting because the locals weren't up to the job left a slightly sour taste," and the series resembled a "throwback to the fading glory days of theBritish Empire".[43] In a January 2021Guardian essay, writer Sirin Kale pointed out the "large and appreciative audience", but was critical of several aspects, including the racial dynamics: "If Death in Paradise was a dated show when it aired – a throwback toPeter Falk in a trench coat askingjust one more thing – it is a museum piece now. For starters, the cast of mostly Black supporting actors call the show's white, male lead 'Sir', and rely on him to solve crimes that are apparently beyond their wits to work out."[44]
Red Planet Pictures was nominated for, and won, the "Diversity in a Drama Production Award" forDeath in Paradise. Sara Martins, Danny John-Jules, Don Warrington and Tobi Bakare collected the award at a ceremony supported by the BBC and ITV that took place on 15 February 2015.[45]
In the UK, all series are shown onBBC One. The first series was broadcast in late 2011. The second series was broadcast in January 2013, with subsequent series filling the same January slot; all series were shown in a 9:00–10:00 pm slot.[a] In France the programme is broadcast onFrance 2 andFrance Ô.Death in Paradise is broadcast in 236 territories.[46] The entire series has been available to stream all year around since May 2020 onBritbox.[47] In the USA the programme appears on a number ofPBS stations. The show is currently[when?] featured onOvation's "Morning Mysteries" block on Fridays, and also used to air on the network every Thursday night at 7PM with back-to-back episodes. In Germany, the show is now streaming onDisney+ as part of their third-party contract agreement.

The theme music is an instrumental version of aJamaican song from the 1960s, "You're Wondering Now", written byCoxsone Dodd, originally recorded by Andy & Joey in Jamaica. It was later made famous byThe Skatalites and inEurope byska bandThe Specials and later still byAmy Winehouse, as featured on some editions of the deluxe version of her albumBack to Black. In the final scene of the first episode of the third series, the cover version recorded by The Skatalites in 1994 is played at the bar. It appeared on the officialDeath in Paradise soundtrack, released in January 2015, alongside other music from all four series. The original version of the song, as recorded by Andy & Joey, was played towards the end of the last episode of the sixth series. It was also recorded byRobert Wyatt on his albumMid-Eighties (1993), under the title "Alfie and Robert Sail Off Into the Sunset", only repeating the lines "You're wondering now / What to do, now you know this is the end". In the French version, the opening song is "Sunday Shining" byFinley Quaye.
The theme music was given a slight overhaul in 2018, when new composer David Michael Celia joined the team and along with Magnus Fiennes, they added more bass to their theme. This theme would only last until 2020. The theme music was given another, bigger overhaul in 2021, with completely new music but still based on the original theme. It was given a new melody and bassline. The composer, Magnus Fiennes, said in an interview that the theme tune needed to be changed for its tenth anniversary. The 2021 Christmas special saw the extended version of this theme tune playing over the car with the Carib Rockets, being transported to the Carlton Villa. The lyrics were also sung over the end credits for both specials.
In January 2015, the BBC released an official soundtrack compiling 26 songs from the first four series of the show. It contains original music forDeath in Paradise and already extant tunes, though it does not include the theme music from the show.
The score of the show itself is composed byMagnus Fiennes and features musicians such as the Los Angeles based Reggae band The Lions (Blake Colie on drums, Dave Wilder on bass, Dan Ubick on guitar) and keyboard/melodica player Roger Rivas.
Each detective had their own specific, individual, personalised score based around their personality, Richard Poole had a mournfuljazz clarinet, Humphrey Goodman abassoon, Jack Mooneymandolin, and DI Neville Parker hasgypsy jazz.[71]
The creator of the show,Robert Thorogood, signed a three-book deal to writeDeath in Paradise novels featuring the original characters (D.I. Richard Poole, D.S. Camille Bordey, Officer Dwayne Myers, Sergeant Fidel Best and Comm. Selwyn Patterson). The first of these,A Meditation on Murder (A Death in Paradise novel),[72] was published in January 2015. Early reviews were generally favourable, with theDaily Express in particular being complimentary, giving it four stars.[73] The second book,The Killing of Polly Carter, was released in 2016. The third book,Death Knocks Twice, was released in 2017. A fourth book,Murder in the Caribbean, was published in December 2018.
In June 2022, a spin-off was announced, titledBeyond Paradise, airing in the UK on 24 February 2023, which saw the return of Kris Marshall as Humphrey Goodman, andSally Bretton as his fiancee Martha Lloyd as they enjoy life in Britain. The spin-off was commissioned byBBC One andBritBox International.[74][75] Filming of the series started in August 2022.[76] After the first series ended, the BBC announced it had been renewed for a second series plus a Christmas special airing later in 2023.[77]
A second spin-off calledReturn to Paradise for ABC television in Australia and BBC One was announced in November 2023.[3] The 6-episode series is set in the beachside hamlet of Dolphin Cove. The series was released in October 2024 on ABC-TV and iView in Australia, and in November 2024 on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK.[78]
