Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise season 15 start date confirmed by BBC – and it’s very soon – and the revelations you won’t want to miss.
Mervin and the team will soon be back to take on a new set of cases.

It wouldn’t be the start of a new year without a new season of Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise on the horizon, and thankfully we now know exactly when the show’s latest run will start airing.
The 15th season of the beloved, sun-dappled detective show will start airing on 30th January 2026, with the first episode airing at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
We don’t yet know much about what will take place in the new episodes, but we do know that Don Gilet will be back as DI Mervin Wilson, along with Shantol Jackson as DS Naomi Thomas, Ginny Holder as Officer Darlene Curtis, Shaquille Ali-Yebuah as Officer Sebastian Rose and Elizabeth Bourgine as Catherine Bordey.
Meanwhile, we’re expecting Don Warrington to return as Commissioner Selwyn Patterson, after his future on the series was thrown into doubt all through last season.

After he decided not to take his job back at the end of season 14, he was seen visiting the UK in the Christmas special.
Coming to realise how important his job and Saint Marie were to him, Patterson was seen calling the chief commissioner at the end of that episode, asking if his role was still vacant and whether he could return to it.
Meanwhile, season 15 is also likely to see Mervin getting to know the brother he never knew he had, after he managed to make contact with him briefly in the Christmas special.
Elsewhere, the season will no doubt feature all the investigations, fun team dynamics and big name guest stars that fans have come to expect from the show over the years.
Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise season 15 will start at 9pm on Friday 30th January 2026 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
