OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Death in Paradise’ will return for a new Christmas special this year.
The BBC have confirmed the show will be back for its second ever festive special, after the first – which aired last year – attracted an audience of more than 8.8 million.
Executive Producer Tim Key said: “We were overwhelmed with the fantastic response to our first Christmas special and delighted that we’ve been asked to take the viewers back to Saint Marie this Christmas.
“We can promise something very different this year, but still with all the ‘Death in Paradise’ fun, sparkle and intrigue that the viewers will expect.”
The feature-length special will go into production in spring this year with returning cast members Ralf Little – who plays DI Neville Parker in the drama series – Don Warrington, Elizabeth Bourgine, Tahj Miles, Shantol Jackson and Ginny Holder.
The show is filmed on the French Caribbean Island of Guadeloupe, and Ralf recently raised more than £25,000 to help stray dogs in the area to give back to the animal rescue charity SXM Paws.
It came after the death of his own pooch, Suzy, who he adopted along with another stray called Dora while filming the programme.
In an update on the fundraising page, the 42-year-old actor said: “Since joining the series in 2019, I’ve spent enough time in the Caribbean for it to feel like a second home.
“However, as animal lovers, it has been hard for us to turn a blind eye to the countless stray dogs on the islands’ streets.
“Of course, as we were about to take Dora and Suzy back to the US with us, we found out that there were hoops to jump through.
“With no clear guidelines available, it was through connecting with SXM Paws, an animal rescue group in St Maarten, that we ultimately were able to figure how to bring Dora and then Suzy home.
“Not only did the members of SXM Paws explain the steps we needed to take, but they actually executed many of the steps alongside us, readily helping with everything from driving Dora to her flight to the US and advising on how to get Suzy on a plane.
“When our little Suzy tragically passed away this year, we wanted to give back to this organisation.”
£25,734 has now been raised on the page at the time of writing.
