Death in Paradise fans 'can't wait' as series make huge show announcement

Death In Paradise fans have all shared their joy after show chiefs took to social media to confirm that the green light had been given to commision another series.

After season 14 had wrapped up and the programme had seen high viewership figures yet again, it was widely reported that the show would return with further installments.

However, today, show bosses confirmed that filming is now well underway for the 15th series, sharing a picture of a black and white clapboard with further details.

The social media post clarified that crew and cast were back on set and working hard to produce another series. The post read: "We're back in paradise. Filming has begun this week in Guadeloupe on the brand-new series of #DeathInParadise."

Fans flocked beneath the announcement to chime praise, with one person commenting: "Yay!! Last season was so much better than it's been in a while," another user said: "Cannot wait to see my fav DI!"

Another fan added: "Woop woop so exciting can't wait," as a fourth agreed: "Best news today." A fifth person shared the same sentiment: "Yay!! I can't wait."

Meanwhile, other fans took the time to demand that a beloved star is part of the news seasons cast, one viewer wrote: "Amazing news. Can't wait. I miss them all (hopefully The Commissioner is back) @donbwarrington."

"Needs @donbwarrington to be there or missing a huge talent," stated another Death in Paradise fan.

BBC viewers are eager to know if Don Warrington will be returning to the new series after the programme ended on a cliffhanger at the end of the last series.

Don, who has played the role of Commissioner Selwyn Patterson since 2011, finally decided to leave his role in the police, with fans now worried he's excited for good.

This is why season 15 will prove to be incredibly important for devoted fans as it's not yet been confirmed if Don's character will still have a role on the much-loved show after leaving his detective duties behind him.

Series 14 finale saw Selwyn Patterson offered his job back after initially being replaced but he opted to instead reject the proposal, wanting to take some time for himself and visiting his daughter Andrina.

The final scene saw him saying goodbye to Catherine Bordey, he asked her: "Promise me you will look after yourself, and them," he added, gesturing to his ex-colleagues.

"Promise me this isn't farewell, but au revoir," asked the mayor as he told her: "Au revoir then, my friend," before zipping off in a taxi.

Death in Paradise can be streamed via BBC iPlayer.
