The BBC has announced that its Caribbean-set mystery Death in Paradise will be back for a further two series and two Christmas specials.
Set on the fictional island of Saint Marie and filmed on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, Death in Paradise has been a ratings winner for the BBC over the past decade, selling to over 240 territories.
The latest series saw "DI Neville Parker (Ralf Little), not only deceived by his girlfriend, but also framed for murder!"
"The Honoré police team once again cracked every case; from the death of a doomsday prepper in a locked room, to a murder on a boat in the middle of the sea and a dance-floor death, keeping the residents of Saint Marie safe for another year," said the BBC.
"In 2024, the series will continue to offer much-needed escapism, compelling whodunnits and perplexing puzzles, keeping viewers on their toes for years to come."
Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, said: "With its sparkling blend of mystery, humour and heart, Death in Paradise continues to delight the millions of us who make the return trip to Saint Marie with every sun-drenched episode.
"It is a programme that goes from strength to strength, and I could not be happier that it will return for another two series and specials on BBC One and iPlayer."
