Why Death in Paradise isn’t on BBC One this week

There’s never a dull moment in Death in Paradise.

Season 15 got off to a dramatic start with Mervin’s brother stealing everything he owned, Selwyn realizing the island residents were angry about him leaving his job after they fought to save it, and the arrival of the new, attention-grabbing sergeant, Mattie Fletcher.

The investigations remain challenging. This week, the team looks into the death of an elderly man who was shot at home. They quickly focus on a suspect, but things get complicated when that person provides a strong alibi.

As we’ve learned more about what happened, things are getting really complicated. It looks like the victim might not have been the perfect person everyone thought. We’re discovering secrets that suggest there’s more to the story than we initially believed, and it’s changing how I see everything.

Selwyn tries to improve relationships by starting a new project for the community. However, things quickly become difficult when Mervin unexpectedly causes trouble at the event.

So yes – never a dull day in Saint Marie.

New episodes usually premiere on Fridays at 9pm on BBC One and are also available on iPlayer. However, the broadcast schedule has changed.

Here’s when you can catch the next instalment.

The show’s original airdate on BBC One (February 13th, which was a Friday) has been changed because of the FA Cup game between Hull City and Chelsea.

When will Death in Paradise be back on screens?

Season 15, episode 3 of Death in Paradise will now air on BBC One on Monday (16 Feb) at 9pm.

It will also be available to stream on BBC iPlayer from 8:45pm on Friday 13 February.
