Death in Paradise Star Drops 'Unfortunate' Update on Season 15
Exciting Details Unveiled as Don Gilet Shares Insights on the Future of the Hit BBC Crime Drama!
The world of Death in Paradise never stays quiet for long! As fans continue to soak in the gripping twists of Season 14, Don Gilet—who now leads the show as DI Mervin Wilson—has spilled some intriguing details about Season 15. However, his latest update might not be the news fans were hoping for.
When Will Death in Paradise Season 15 Begin Filming?
While Season 14 is still in full swing, Gilet has already confirmed when the cast will pack their bags and head back to the sun-drenched paradise of Guadeloupe to begin filming Season 15. Speaking on Lorraine, alongside co-star Shantol Jackson, Gilet was quizzed on when production would kick off for the next season.
"Unfortunately, it is about April time, end of April," he revealed, much to fans' surprise.
But why the gloomy tone? When Jackson curiously asked why returning to the Caribbean was a bad thing, Gilet chuckled, clarifying: "I just meant for the people I am going to leave." Seems like someone's going to miss home!
Don Gilet Reflects on Taking Over From Ralf Little
Replacing a beloved lead is never easy, and Don Gilet had some big shoes to fill after Ralf Little’s emotional departure as DI Neville Parker. Reflecting on his transition into the role, Gilet shared how Season 14 is setting itself apart from past installments.
"I think what is different about this one is that there is an arc," he explained. "There is a personal journey going on with the detective because he is originally there to find his mother."
This character-driven approach is a major shift from previous seasons, adding an emotional depth that fans are eager to explore.
DI Mervin’s Emotional Struggles in Saint Marie
Unlike his predecessors, DI Mervin Wilson isn’t exactly thrilled about being in Saint Marie. His presence on the island wasn’t planned—he arrived on a personal mission to locate his mother. However, upon learning of her passing, he found himself stuck in a place he never intended to stay.
"He is torn. He is there to find his mother. He doesn't know what it's going to be like when he meets her. He finds out she has died, then he has to stay there in this place, and he has tried to leave," Gilet explained.
This internal conflict brings a fresh dynamic to the show, making DI Mervin one of the most complex detectives to ever grace the sandy shores of Saint Marie.
What’s Next for Death in Paradise?
With Death in Paradise continuing to be a ratings juggernaut, anticipation for Season 15 is already through the roof. Fans are also eagerly following updates on the spin-off Beyond Paradise, which has been a hit in its own right.
Both Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise air on BBC One and are available for streaming on BBC iPlayer.
Conclusion
As the sun sets on another thrilling season, fans can rest assured that Death in Paradise is only getting started. While Don Gilet’s update may have had an "unfortunate" tone, the excitement for what’s ahead is undeniable.
Will DI Mervin ever fully embrace Saint Marie? Or will his personal struggles continue to shape his tenure on the island? One thing's for sure—fans will be watching closely!
