There have been so many rumours about this but according to the Independent it has now been revealed as Don Gilet: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/death-in-paradise-replacement-bbc-b2538604.html

Would have been good to have a lady lead but I'm pleased with this. Would have struggled to watch some of the suggestions but I like this actor.

He's fantastic- loved him in Babyfather and 55 Degrees North.

Will be interested to see if the new lead continues with the slighly eccentric theme.

I haven't heard of him but pleased to hear it's confirmed.

He seems a good choice, and easy on the eye!

I'd watch anyone rather than Ralf Little.

Great! Lance in Doctor Who. It's good to have a black actor as the white English inspector has run its course for now

@Davros Why make this about colour? the whole concept of DIP was to have an Inspector who was a 'fish out of water' part of that concept was that they were white and English although of course DI Mooney was Irish, did the fact that the DI's were white stop you watching enjoying or understanding the series? I can assure you that on all the DIP Facebook pages I am on no-one has got any problem with the new DI being black we are all hoping he is going to have the same quirks and foibles as the others but maybe in a different way, the only bone of contention is that Don Gilet has already been in the show as a murderer which we didn't think would happen, (Ralph was also on it before he got the DI role but only as a suspect) so people are not sure how they are going to feel about him becoming DI - but time will tell
