Death in Paradise Lands Two-Season Renewal

The crime drama Death in Paradise has been recommissioned for two more seasons by BBC One.

Set on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, the series is celebrating its tenth anniversary this January, with the season premiere airing today. The new order takes the show through seasons 11 and 12.

Season ten was filmed entirely through the pandemic, with production delayed by three months and accelerated to ensure viewers could enjoy the new season in its usual January slot.

Death in Paradise is a Red Planet Pictures production for BBC One made with the support of the region of Guadeloupe.

Executive Producer Tim Key said: “We are hugely proud of series ten and delighted we’ll be heading back to Saint Marie to continue the story. Our amazing cast and crew have delivered against the odds this year and we can’t wait to get going again—we’ve got huge plans for the future, with lots of surprises to come.”

Belinda Campbell, joint managing director of Red Planet Pictures, said: “We’re delighted that Death in Paradise has been recommissioned for two more series. It’s testament to the talent of the cast and production team and the loyalty of our amazing audience that after ten series we remain one of the U.K.’s favorite TV dramas.”
