Death in Paradise fans ‘can’t wait’ after major series announcement
There's good news for fans of the long-running crime drama as a double instalment of the Paradise world is on the way
At the start of the year, BBC viewers saw the 15th series of Death in Paradise kick off as the beloved character Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington) made his return.
Elsewhere in the show, fans have also seen DI Mervin Wilson (Don Gilet) reunite with his estranged brother Solomon Clarke (Daniel Ward).
Their relationship has been anything but plain sailing as Solomon stole from his brother and was involved in his kidnapping.
Although the brother has since left the show, there’s still one more episode in the series for viewers to look forward to.
However, with Comic Relief taking over its regular Friday night slot on March 20, the final episode won’t air until March 27.

Taking to Instagram to share the news, they also confirmed it would be a double helping of the Paradise world as Beyond Paradise will also start its fourth series on the same day.
Sharing a post, they wrote: “Clear your schedules – on Friday, March 27, you won’t want to be anywhere but your sofa. #BeyondParadise and #DeathInParadise, BBC One and iPlayer from 8pm.”
It wasn’t long before people commented on the post, as one person said: “That sounds perfect viewing.” Someone else shared: “That’s a great Friday night lineup. Can’t wait till they both hit Britbox.”
Another person added: “Ahhh yessss. I guessed that would be when it was! So excited.” While one fan commented: “Oh wow, I am excited about this, cannot wait.”
Beyond Paradise is set to see the return of DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and Martha (Sally Bretton) for six new episodes.
A synopsis reads: “Fact and folklore blur as they investigate the death of a novelist who predicted their demise, a magical night of Dark Morris that soon turns sour, a stolen treasure map that suddenly reappears, and the alleged sighting of a vengeful mermaid lurking out at sea.”
