Death in Paradise star reveals when season 12 begins filming
The cast will be heading back out to the Caribbean soon.
Death in Paradise season 11 may have only just finished airing on BBC One but after that finale viewers will be wanting to know just when they'll be getting back out to Saint Marie.
Well, speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Commissioner Selwyn Patterson actor Don Warrington revealed the cast will be heading back out to Guadeloupe, which doubles as the fictional Saint Marie, soon.
Warrington said: “We're still in England, we haven't started yet. I think we start sometime in May. So I don't know what we will do when we get out there."
While we don't have a release date for the new season yet, a Christmas special has been confirmed, and the show has stuck to a January air date since season 2, so we expect to see Death in Paradise season 12 follow the same schedule.
Cast members Ralf Little, Don Warrington, Elizabeth Bourgine, Tahj Miles, Shantol Jackson and Ginny Holder are all confirmed to return.
Warrington also spoke to RadioTimes.com about the shocking season finale reveal of the Commissioner's ex-wife showing up out of the blue.
He explained: "He doesn't know what to think. It's a shock. It's the last person he expected to see. And why would she be there when he's dealing with the case? It’s absolute shock. He just doesn't know what to think."
