Death in Paradise Star Sara Martins Stuns in a Dramatic Transformation for Her Grittiest Role Yet | Flickcore.us
Sara Martins, best known for her role as DS Camille Bordey in Death in Paradise, is set to take on an entirely different persona in Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming historical drama, Those About to Die. Fans of the actress will barely recognize her as she embraces a bold new look and an intense, action-packed role in this highly anticipated series.
A Fierce New Role That Showcases Sara Martins Like Never Before
The beloved actress, who made a brief but exciting return to Death in Paradise earlier this year, has stepped into the world of ancient Rome, playing Cala—a determined mother fighting for survival in one of history’s most ruthless eras. This role marks a significant departure from her days solving crimes in the Caribbean, pushing her into a brutal and unforgiving setting unlike anything she’s done before.
A-List Cast and Legendary Direction Elevate the Series
Joining Sara in Those About to Die is a star-studded ensemble, including Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins as Emperor Vespasian and Game of Thrones star Iwan Rheon as Tenax, a shrewd betting tavern owner. The series, directed by Hollywood blockbuster veteran Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow), promises high-intensity storytelling, massive battle sequences, and political intrigue straight from the gladiatorial arenas of Rome.
Sara Martins' Daring Transformation Leaves Fans in Awe
Known for her signature curly hair as Camille Bordey, Sara undergoes a striking makeover for Those About to Die, trading her modern detective chic for long, intricately styled dreadlocks. The period-accurate costumes further immerse her into the role, as she dons elegant robes and historically inspired garments, a stark contrast to Camille’s sleek, professional wardrobe in Death in Paradise.
How Cala and Camille Share a Common Strength
Despite the vast differences between her two most famous characters, Sara herself sees surprising similarities between Cala and Camille. In an exclusive interview, she revealed:
“To be honest, they are both strong women. Obviously, they exist in very different worlds, but if Camille were in Cala’s shoes, she’d probably act the same way.”
This insight adds depth to her portrayal, proving that no matter the era, Sara brings intelligence, resilience, and complexity to every character she embodies.
Will Sara Martins Return to Death in Paradise?
Fans have been eager to know whether Sara will make another comeback to Death in Paradise. While she has confirmed there are “no plans” at the moment, she teased that she would “never say never” to a return. Could we see Camille Bordey back on the shores of Saint Marie in the future? Only time will tell!
