Death in Paradise is a crime television series created by Robert Thorogood, starring Ben Miller (Series 1–3), Kris Marshall (Series 3–6), Ardal O'Hanlon (Series 6–9), Ralf Little (Series 9–13) and Don Gilet (2024 Special−).
The programme is filmed on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. It is broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom, France 2 in France, PBS in the United States, and Prime in New Zealand (with repeats on BBC UKTV), and on Foxtel's BBC First channel, ABC and 9Gem in Australia.
Since its debut, Death in Paradise has enjoyed high viewing figures and a generally positive critical reception, leading to repeated renewals. 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.
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, was released in October 2024.
