Telemystery: Death in Paradise Season 3 to Premiere on BBC One in January 2014

BBC One has announced that the third season of the crime drama Death in Paradise will premiere in January 2014.

The first two seasons of the series starred Ben Miller as Detective Inspector Richard Poole, who had been sent to the tiny Caribbean island of Saint-Marie to solve a mysterious murder. However, this third season sees the tragic murder of DI Poole and the arrival of new detective, DI Humphrey Goodman, played by Kris Marshall.

Battling their grief and determined to catch the killer of their friend, Camille (Sara Martins), Fidel (Gary Carr) and Dwayne (Danny John-Jules) are joined by DI Goodman to help them get to the bottom of the tragic and mysterious case. Unfortunately, Humphrey's naturally bumbling and accident-prone ways mean he doesn't make a great first impression.

Death in Paradise Seasons 1 and 2 are finally coming to DVD here in the US, though we don't (yet) have a firm date of release for them.
