Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise season 15: Release date speculation and latest news
Everything we know so far.
Fans of Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise were left in a state of shock at the end of season 14 following some big decisions for a couple of fan-favourite characters.
Selwyn’s future has a giant question mark hanging over it, while Mervin, who did eventually solve the mystery of his mother’s Dᴇᴀᴛʜ , has just made another huge discovery that will surely see him stay in Saint Marie.
But are we heading back to the island?
Read on for everything we know so far about Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise season 15 and when it might arrive on BBC One and iPlayer.
Is Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise returning for season 15?
Yes, Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise is confirmed to return for season 15 and a Christmas special.
The show’s official social media accounts revealed the news after the final episode of season 14 had aired on BBC One and iPlayer.
“Series 14 is over… But we’ll be back for series 15 (and a Christmas special),” the post read. “Thanks for watching, see you again soon!
Back in February, Don Gilet confirmed that the cast and crew would be heading back to Guadeloupe to film season 15 at the end of April, so the news wasn’t too much of a surprise.
Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise season 15 release date speculation
There has been no official confirmation on when exactly Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise season 15 will arrive.
However, we can make a good guess given the drama has followed a fairly rigid scheduling pattern for most of its time on air.
Since its second season way back in 2013, new seasons of Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise have always arrived in January bar one exception (when it began in February instead in 2024).
Therefore, following a Christmas special at the end of the year, we would expect Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise season 15 to begin in January or February 2026.
Who could return in the Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise season 15 cast?
It remains to be seen if Don Warrington will return as Selwyn Patterson, who decided not to accept his job back.
But he could change his mind after some time away, or perhaps he’ll return to the show in a freelance capacity.
Don Gilet’s Mervin Wilson, who was all set to head back to London, is staying put following a major revelation (more on that in a bit).
His return hasn’t been officially announced but as we mentioned previously, Gilet himself has been talking about filming season 15 so clearly, he’s not going anywhere.
We’d expect to see him alongside:
- Shantol Jackson as Naomi Thomas
- Ginny Holder as Darlene Curtis
- Shaquille Ali-Yebuah as Sebastian Rose
- Élizabeth Bourgine as Catherine Bordey
And expect plenty of new guest stars, too.
What could happen in Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise season 15?
Murders, of course.
But alongside that, Mervin has just found out that he has a brother, so we’d hope to see that relationship develop and for the detective to finally feel at home in the Caribbean.
As for the rest of the characters, that’s tricky to predict at this moment.
Catherine revealed that she was “seeing someone” in season 14. Will that blossom into something more?
Alongside their professional responsibilities and dramas, we’d also expect some personal dilemmas and developments for Naomi, Darlene and the newest member of the team, Seb.
Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
