Paradise Lost: Death in Paradise Finale Delayed Due to BBC Schedule Shake-Up – Fans Get a Double Treat!

Death in Paradise Fans Hit with Major Schedule Change – But There's a Silver Lining!

The BBC’s beloved tropical crime drama Death in Paradise has become the latest casualty of a major scheduling reshuffle. Fans eagerly awaiting the Season 14 finale this Friday, March 21, 2025, will have to wait a little longer, as the episode has been pushed back to March 28. However, there's good news—viewers will be treated to a double dose of excitement on the same night!

Why the Delay?

The reason for this sudden change? BBC’s Comic Relief Telethon is taking over the schedule this Friday. While this may disappoint Death in Paradise fans, the delay brings an unexpected perk—a back-to-back Caribbean mystery extravaganza next week!

Double Delight on March 28!

Although waiting an extra week is frustrating, Death in Paradise fans will have an epic TV lineup on March 28:

• 8:00 PM – Beyond Paradise Season 3 Premiere: The spin-off series starring Kris Marshall returns for another round of cozy crime-solving.

• 9:00 PM – Death in Paradise Season 14 Finale: The long-awaited season finale featuring Don Gilet as the new lead detective will finally air.

Beyond Paradise Meets Not Going Out – A Special Comic Relief Crossover!

As part of this year’s Comic Relief special, fans of Beyond Paradise will witness a hilarious crossover with BBC’s long-running sitcom Not Going Out. Actress Sally Bretton will pull double duty, reprising her roles as Martha from Beyond Paradise and Lucy from Not Going Out in a side-splitting case of mistaken identity.

Sally shared her excitement about the unique crossover:

“It was great fun to have the two worlds collide, play my own doppelgänger, and get swept up in the madness that comes with that. Doing it all for Comic Relief made it even more special.”

Comedy legend Lee Mack, who wrote the sketch, also teased fans about what to expect:

“We didn’t know if we were coming or going! The whole experience was a blast.”

What Other Shows Are Affected?

Due to the Comic Relief takeover, several BBC shows will be temporarily bumped off the schedule this Friday, including:

• The One Show – Canceled to make way for Comic Relief at 7 PM.

• BBC News – Will return at 10 PM with a short local news segment at 10:30 PM.

• Beetlejuice – The cult classic film will air at 11:40 PM after the telethon.

What to Expect from the Death in Paradise Season 14 Finale?

With Don Gilet’s first full season as Detective Inspector nearing its dramatic conclusion, fans are expecting big twists and shocking revelations. This season has already delivered plenty of surprises, including the unexpected departure of Commissioner Selwyn Patterson. Will the finale set up even more changes for Season 15?
