BBC’s Death in Paradise has been commissioned for two more series

OHMYGOSSIP — BBC’s ‘Death in Paradise’ has been commissioned for two more series.
The British-French crime drama – which stars Ardal O’Hanlon as Saint Marie Police Department’s lead detective Jack Mooney alongside Tobi Bakare, Shyko Amos, Don Warrington and Elizabeth Bourgine – has been signed up for two more series after recently wrapping up its eight season.
Aude Legastelois – who appeared in the last two episodes of the eighth season – is set to replace recently departed Josephine Jobert as new team member Madeleine Dumas.
Aude said: “I’m thrilled that I’ve been given the opportunity to continue my role as Madeleine and to rejoin the cast of ‘Death in Paradise’. I can’t wait for Madeleine to be fully integrated into the Honoré Police team and for the viewers to get to know her further.”
‘Death in Paradise’ is filmed on the French island of Guadeloupe and broadcast on BBC One in the UK and France 2 in France.
Tobi – who plays JP Hooper – was sad when Josephine, who portrayed Detective Sergeant Florence Cassel, left the programme as they both bonded when they joined the cast at the same time.
In the show, DS Florence left the police force following the tragic death of her fiancé Patrice.
Tobi said: “Me and Josie started in the same year – we started in Season Four. Though she started a couple of episodes before me, we were still getting to know the whole thing [together]. We were still learning.”
‘Death in Paradise’ continues next year on BBC One.
