Ardal O'Hanlon will be back for more Caribbean crime capers in BBC One's long-running Death In Paradise.
The former Father Ted star took over from Kris Marshall in the lead role of the hit drama, which is filmed on the French-Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.
The BBC announced that it has commissioned a ninth and 10th season of the sun-drenched show, with O'Hanlon back as DI Jack Mooney.
It was announced on air following the end of the eighth season on Thursday night.
O'Hanlon will be back to head up the Saint Marie police team with co-stars Tobi Bakare, Shyko Amos, Don Warrington and Elizabeth Bourgine.
