Death in Paradise Reunion? Kris Marshall Calls for a Huge Detective Special

 Could Death in Paradise Finally Bring All Its Detectives Together for One Epic Case?

Fans of Death in Paradise have long dreamed of seeing all the show’s iconic detectives in a single episode. Now, Kris Marshall is making the same wish! Could this mean a major reunion special is in the works?

Death in Paradise has captivated audiences since 2011, with its rotating cast of brilliant yet quirky detectives solving intricate murder mysteries on the sun-soaked island of Saint Marie. Over the years, we’ve seen the likes of Ben Miller, Kris Marshall, Ardal O’Hanlon, Ralf Little, and most recently, Don Gilet take on the lead detective role. Now, Marshall has expressed his desire for an all-star reunion featuring every one of them in a thrilling, one-off case.

With season 14’s finale approaching and Beyond Paradise gearing up for its third season, could fans finally get the crossover event they’ve been waiting for?

Kris Marshall’s Dream: A Detective Reunion on Saint Marie

During a recent interview with Radio Times, Kris Marshall—who played DI Humphrey Goodman for four seasons before departing in 2017—shared his thoughts on a potential reunion.

“There’s no WhatsApp group,” he admitted, referring to the lack of an official detective club behind the scenes. “But I would love some kind of reunion where all five of us meet up on screen.”

While the BBC has not yet confirmed such an event, the idea of a full-fledged crossover special is undeniably exciting for fans. Imagine seeing Richard Poole (Ben Miller), Humphrey Goodman (Marshall), Jack Mooney (Ardal O’Hanlon), Neville Parker (Ralf Little), and the newest detective, played by Don Gilet, working together on one complex case.

Past Crossovers: Have the Detectives Ever Shared the Screen?

Although we’ve never seen all five detectives together at once, there have been notable encounters between some of them.

• Richard Poole’s Ghostly Return – In Season 3, Ben Miller’s beloved Richard Poole made a supernatural cameo following his character’s shocking death in Season 2.

• Humphrey Meets Jack Mooney – In Season 6, Kris Marshall’s Humphrey Goodman passed the detective torch to Ardal O’Hanlon’s Jack Mooney.

• Neville and Humphrey Cross Paths – In the first season of Beyond Paradise, Ralf Little’s Neville Parker made a brief appearance, sharing a moment with Humphrey.

While these crossovers have been brief, they hint at the potential chemistry and storytelling possibilities if all detectives were to collaborate.

A Surprise Twist? The Upcoming Comic Relief Special

While a full-scale reunion has yet to be confirmed, fans will at least get to see Beyond Paradise’s Humphrey Goodman return for an upcoming Comic Relief special. The crossover event will feature Marshall alongside Sally Bretton, who plays his on-screen partner Martha Lloyd, as they join forces with comedian Lee Mack in an episode of Not Going Out.

Speaking about the collaboration, Marshall shared his enthusiasm: “It’s always a delight to be able to combine the joys of comedy with the ability to help the many worthwhile charities that Comic Relief supports.”

While this special won’t take place in Saint Marie, it could be a stepping stone to something bigger. Could the success of this crossover pave the way for a full-blown Death in Paradise reunion?

Why a Reunion Special Would Be Perfect Right Now

With Death in Paradise Season 14 wrapping up and Beyond Paradise gaining its own dedicated fanbase, now would be the perfect time to celebrate the franchise’s legacy. A reunion special could serve as:

• A Nostalgic Tribute – Bringing together all five detectives would be a treat for long-time viewers who have followed their journeys over the years.

• A Grand Mystery – Imagine a high-stakes case requiring the expertise of every detective to crack. A story of this scale would elevate the stakes like never before.

• A Celebration of the Show’s Legacy – Death in Paradise has been a fan-favorite for over a decade, and a crossover special would be a perfect way to honor its history.

Will the BBC Make It Happen?

So far, there has been no official word from the BBC regarding a reunion episode, but Marshall’s enthusiasm has certainly sparked conversations among fans.
