Will There Be a Series 10 of Death in Paradise?
Yes! It’s more than likely that Death in Paradise will carry on for a tenth series.
Season 9 is due to start in January 2020 with filming for season 10 estimated to begin in April 2020.
Will Brexit Affect Death in Paradise?
The Crime Drama has been filmed abroad for most of its seasons so it’s future looks shaky with Brexit looming.
According to Radio Times, the show’s writer and creator, Robert Thorogood, has said that filming for the show could be made difficult due to its overseas filming location in Guadeloupe.
He said: “Guadeloupe is an overseas territory of France, so it’s part of the EU, which makes it really easy to film there…If we left the single market, it could make things much harder for us. So, like the rest of the UK, we’re just going to have to wait and see what happens after Brexit”.
Filming for series 9 should begin around April 2019 but a Brexit deal should be made by March 2019 meaning that any changes to the show’s format would have to be made before series 9 starts.
Some Death in Paradise scenes were filmed in London in 2016 so you never know, the show could move to the UK!
