Fans of the BBC crime series Death in Paradise have welcomed the return of what many call its best detective, sparking renewed interest in the show. The detective’s comeback coincides with the rollout of season 11, episode 2, which additionally introduces an EastEnders star to the Caribbean setting, and follows that recent revelation of Ralf Little’s genuine reason for leaving the 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 that series’ strategy to attract a broader audience ahead of the June 28, 2026 broadcast slot.
