First look at Don Gilet in Death in Paradise

Meet Saint Marie's new detective, played by actor Don Gilet.

First-look pictures have been released of Don Gilet (Sherwood, EastEnders, Shetland) as Death in Paradise‘s new lead, Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson.

Gilet makes his debut in a feature-length 2024 Death in Paradise Christmas special, before a new season, arriving on the idyllic isle of Saint Marie from his home in London. While assisting with a case following a short trip, the team discover Mervin may have an ulterior motive for being on the island…

Don Gilet says: “I am delighted to have returned to the wonderful island of Guadeloupe and this time to be stepping into the well-worn shoes of the Detective Inspector. It’s been a real pleasure filming such a beloved series alongside the hardworking cast and crew. I can’t wait for the fans to see how DI Mervin Wilson fares on the island, how he fits within the Saint Marie police team and what secrets may unfold…”

BritBox becomes the first-run home of Death in Paradise in Australia following the end of BBC First.

It is yet to confirm what titles will be fast-tracked in Australia.
