yah it’s back. The easy watching murders and guessing which of the usually 4 suspects did it

The 15th season of the beloved, sun-dappled detective show will start airing on 30th January 2026, with the first episode airing at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

We don't yet know much about what will take place in the new episodes, but we do know that Don Gilet will be back as DI Mervin Wilson (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/death-in-paradise-cast/), along with Shantol Jackson as DS Naomi Thomas, Ginny Holder as Officer Darlene Curtis, Shaquille Ali-Yebuah as Officer Sebastian Rose and Elizabeth Bourgine as Catherine Bordey.

Meanwhile, we're expecting Don Warrington to return as Commissioner Selwyn Patterson, after his future on the series was thrown into doubt all through last season. Esp after the Christmas episode

After he decided not to take his job back at the end of season 14, he was seen visiting the UK in the Christmas special.

Coming to realise how important his job and Saint Marie were to him, Patterson was seen calling the chief commissioner at the end of that episode, asking if his role was still vacant (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/death-in-paradise-selwyn-wants-job-back-newsupdate/) and whether he could return to it.

Meanwhile, season 15 is also likely to see Mervin getting to know the brother he never knew he had, after he managed to make contact with him briefly in the Christmas special.

I'd love a good story with a big twist - like Neville getting arrested for murder a few years ago

I will always watch DIP but I don’t think this series is particularly great. Although I imagine it’s difficult to keep coming up with clever ideas. Not keen on the new sergeant and Seb is annoying.

Didn't realise Don Gilet and Siobhan Finneran are a couple in real life!

Apparently they’ve been together since 2018, after working together on The Loch, in 2017.

Gosh! I didn't know that either. I was really thrown hearing her with a fairly posh southern accent after her roles in Downton Abbey and Happy Valley.

She’s a super actress. Very versatile.

Very early prediction there! Although in true DiP fashion you're probably right 😂

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/02/2026 21:23

Oh dear. Seb's mum and prime suspect (who inherits dead woman's fortune) are an item!

AlwaysRightISwear · 20/02/2026 21:36

Presume the fake Walter Godwin was the German soldier who stole the painting.

AlwaysRightISwear · 20/02/2026 21:37

And yes.

AlwaysRightISwear · 20/02/2026 21:40

She looks shifty.

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/02/2026 21:52
