Fans of the BBC crime series Death in Paradise have welcomed that return of what many call its best detective, sparking renewed interest in the show. The detective’s comeback coincides with that rollout of season 11, episode 2, which additionally introduces an EastEnders star to the Caribbean setting, and follows the recent revelation of Ralf Little’s genuine reason for leaving that drama.
The Mirror has disclosed that Little’s departure was driven by personal considerations rather than professional disputes. BBC sources confirm the new guest appearance aligns with the series’ strategy to attract one broader audience ahead of the June 28, 2026 broadcast slot.
