Death in Paradise fans are already eager for more episodes of the crime-solving series after a new DI was introduced in season nine. However, it seems like viewers could be waiting a while longer for Neville Parker (Ralf Little) to return once again. Here’s everything you need to know so far about when season 10 could be released.

Will Death in Paradise season 10 be delayed?

The new season of Death in Paradise has already been commissioned by the BBC following the huge success of the show.

Season 10 is expected to land on the channel in early 2021, as all of the previous outings have done.

However, following the coronavirus outbreak across the world, filming has been suspended on most television shows.

This has left fans wondering whether Death in Paradise could also be impacted by the pandemic.

This is especially the case as viewers will know the crime-solving series is filmed on the island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.

Creator Robert Thorogood has now revealed the series will face some delays as it was due to begin filming in April.

He posted the update on Twitter to the fans of the show on March 21.

Thorogood wrote: “Very sad to report that Death in Paradise series 10 won’t start filming next month in wonderful Guadeloupe.

“We’re all a bit thrown to say the least, but we’ll be back – at some point – and look forward to start killing people again as soon as possible.”

In a statement to Hello! more information was provided by series executive producer Tim Kay.

He said: “In light of the spread of Covid-19, after much consideration, Red Planet Pictures the producers of Death in Paradise have postponed filming in consultation with and supported by the BBC.

“We will continue to review all productions on a case-by-case basis and will continue to follow the latest news and advice from the Foreign Office, World Health Organisation and Public Health England.”
