Here’s everything you need to know.
Death in Paradise series 14 starts filming
Actor Don Warrington, who plays Commissioner Selwyn Patterson, has confirmed that Death in Paradise series 14 has started filming in the Caribbean.
This week, the former Grange Hill star shared several brand new pictures from the set. He teased fans about what is coming up in the Christmas special, and subsequent upcoming series.
Of course, the next season is arguably the most anticipated yet because Don Gilet will arrive as new detective Don takes over the role from Ralf Little, whose character DI Neville Parker sailed into the sunset with love interest Florence Cassell at the end of series 13.
Furthermore, Don will make his debut in 2024’s Death in Paradise Christmas special. He will subsequently continue in the role in 2025 with series 14.
Behind-the-scenes pictures of Death in Paradise series 14
Alongside Don’s sneak peak pictures of series 14, he wrote the words: “Back to work.”
In the snaps, Don can be seen beside his trust yellow police van, as Officer Darlene Curtis – played by Ginny Holder – waits nearby. A crew member is holding up an umbrella for actress Ginny, no doubt trying to protect her from the heat.
The scenes appear to be filmed near a tennis court. Additionally, in another picture, Don can be seen standing beside what looks very much like the new detective.
Finally, in another post, Don can be seen having his outfit adjusted by the wardrobe department. It might not be much, but for fans it was certainly an exciting update on the series.
