While the BBC hasn't officially confirmed that Death in Paradise is returning for season 16, Shaquille Ali-Yebuah previously confirmed to Radio Times that filming will kick off at the end of April.
"Everything commences again," said the Sebastian Rose star earlier this year. "Back out to Guadeloupe, hurry up and get our tan back. I'm looking like Bart Simpson right now. It's going to be exciting."
So what might be in store in the upcoming instalment?
Read on for everything we know so far about Death in Paradise season 16.
New episodes typically arrive in January, so barring any major shakeups we expect season 16 to debut in January 2027.
Which cast could return for a potential Death in Paradise season 16?
It came as a surprise to both fans of the show and the cast when Ginny Holder didn't return for season 15. But as it stands, we'd expect to see the following faces all present and correct:
Don Warrington as Selwyn PattersonDon Gilet as Mervin WilsonShantol Jackson as Naomi ThomasShaquille Ali-Yebuah as Sebastian RoseCatherine Garton as Mattie Fletcher.Élizabeth Bourgine as Catherine BordeyYou can also expect plenty of new guest stars.

But it remains to be seen if Daniel Ward will return as Mervin's half-brother Solomon, or if we'll see Avah Cotterell reprise her role as the detective's niece Eloise.
What could happen in a potential Death in Paradise season 16?
Alongside the weekly investigations, which keep the team firmly on their toes, we could also see Mervin's relationships with Solomon and Eloise deepen – and perhaps even meet more members of the extended Wilson-Clarke clan.
Plus, we'd expect to learn more about Mattie's backstory and the trauma tied to it, which has been teased out across season 15.
As for Selwyn, Naomi, Seb and Catherine, we'll have to wait and see, but we sincerely hope a genuine, lasting romance is on the cards for the mayor.
