Death in Paradise is a British television series that has been on the air since 2011. The plot revolves around DI Richard Poole, who is sent to Saint-Marie’s police department after his former partner committed suicide. He soon becomes friends with the other officers stationed there, and they work together to solve crimes using their own unique skillsets. This season will be focusing on the death of a young woman during her honeymoon trip as well as what appears to be an unrelated murder at a luxury resort hotel.
About Death in Paradise:
The plot of the show centers around DI Richard Poole, who is an uptight and by-the-book officer. He has quite a bit of difficulty getting along with his new team members, especially Camille Bordey, after he makes remarks about her father’s death during their first case together. Each episode brings them another murder to solve in beautiful Caribbean settings.

Release Date:
The release date for the 11th season of Death in Paradise has not been confirmed yet, but it is expected to be on screens in 2022.
Production:
The plot is said to be “loosely based” on Agatha Christie’s novel, And Then There Were None. The plot is not a direct adaptation of the novel, however, but an original story written by series creator Robert Thorogood and set on Saint Marie island. A feature film adaptation of And Then There Were None is currently being produced by Agatha Christie Limited and will be distributed worldwide. It is not known whether the plot of Death In Paradise season 11 will have any connections to this movie.
Filming:
Death in Paradise was first released on the BBC network and has since aired seven seasons (and one spin-off). The show is filmed primarily in St. Lucia, an island nation located southeast of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean Sea.
Awards:
Death In Paradise remains one of the most profitable shows on British television. The series has been nominated for more than 20 awards, with cast members Ben Miller and Danny John-Jules winning a number of those nominations between them.
The Plot:
The plot of Death in Paradise season 11 has not yet been released by the BBC, but based on previous seasons, it is likely that a plot will revolve around murders being investigated and solved. The plot may also have connections to past episodes or be influenced by real-world crime stories. The plot follows DI Richard Poole, who moves to Saint Marie following his divorce after he finds out his wife is having an affair.
A woman’s dead body is discovered during her honeymoon trip on a remote island Saint Marie – where Poole must work with local detectives to solve the crime. Fans describe Death In Paradise as a cross between Midsomer Murders and Midsommer Murders, with the plot lines of Inspector Morse and Midsomer Murders. Death in Paradise is shot on location at a tropical island paradise called Sainte Marie where Detective Chief Inspector Richard Poole (Ben Miller) arrives to take charge of his first homicide investigation – but he expects an easy time because there’s no crime.
The Starring cast:
- DI Richard Poole (played by Ben Miller) is a British Detective Inspector who works as the SIO on Saint Marie after his former partner commits suicide.
- Camille Bordey (Sophie Milner) is a French police officer and a new member of the local police force who becomes friends with Poole.
- DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) is a British Detective Inspector and the new Senior Officer on Saint Marie who becomes Poole’s partner.
- DS Florence Cassell (Josephine Jobert), a French police officer, was assigned to be Camille Bordey’s mentor but quickly became her friend and colleague after she found out that Camille came from a police family.
Reviews:
“Variety”: “The plot, with its echoes of the first series, doesn’t always convince. But it’s still very enjoyable”. “Radio Times”: “Death in Paradise is a lovely show that isn’t quite as silly or schmaltzy as you might expect from the title and cover art. For those who enjoy mystery dramas with diverse casts, Death in Paradise will likely be an enjoyable watch. The show has already aired seven seasons of plot twists and intriguing cases to solve.
Ratings:
In its sixth season on British TV, Death in Paradise averaged an impressive ten million viewers per episode, making it the most-watched PBS show in history. Death In Paradise has been described as “a sunny crime drama” and one of the best British shows to watch after Downton Abbey ended its run on ITV.
