The Jamaican actress, who plays the role of Sergeant Naomi Thomas, has given us a glimpse into what we can expect from the upcoming season. And let me tell you, it’s going to be a wild ride!
In an exclusive interview with Radio Times, Jackson shared that series 15 will have a different feel to it compared to previous seasons. She said, “There’s going to be a lot of changes in terms of the characters and the dynamics between them. It’s going to be a bit of a shake-up, but I think it’s going to be really exciting for the viewers.”
Fans of the show will know that series 14 ended on a major cliffhanger, with the shocking departure of lead detective DI Jack Mooney, played by Ardal O’Hanlon. This left viewers wondering who would take over as the new lead detective. Well, according to Jackson, we can expect a new face to join the team. She revealed, “There’s going to be a new detective coming in, and I think the audience is going to love them. They bring a whole new energy to the show.”
But that’s not all, Jackson also hinted at some potential romantic developments in the upcoming season. When asked about Naomi’s love life, she coyly replied, “I can’t reveal too much, but let’s just say there might be some sparks flying between Naomi and a certain someone.” Could this mean a potential love interest for our favorite sergeant? We can’t wait to find out!
Aside from the changes in the characters, Jackson also shared that series 15 will have a different filming location. The show is known for its stunning Caribbean setting, but this time, the cast and crew will be heading to a new island. Jackson teased, “We’re going to be filming in a different location this time, so expect some new and beautiful landscapes.”
As for the cases, Jackson assured fans that they can expect the same level of mystery and intrigue that the show is known for. She said, “The writers have done an amazing job with the scripts. Each episode is like a mini-movie, and I think the audience will be on the edge of their seats trying to solve the crimes alongside the detectives.”
Series 15 of Death in Paradise is set to air in early 2022, and fans are already counting down the days. The show has been a huge success since its debut in 2011, and it’s no surprise that viewers are eagerly awaiting its return.
