Ovation TV has acquired the first six seasons of Death in Paradise, the popular whodunit series set on the (fictional) island of Saint Marie in the Caribbean.
The long-running program — known for its quirky, fish-out-of-water lead detectives, intricate murder mystery plots, numerous guest stars, and big-reveal conclusions, not to mention gorgeous sun, sand, and surf scenery — features an international cast that includes Ben Miller (I Want My Wife Back), Kris Marshall (Sanditon), Ardal O’Hanlon (My Hero), Sara Martins (Detectives), Danny John-Jules (Red Dwarf), Joséphine Jobert (Avenue 5), Gary Carr (The Deuce), Don Warrington (The Five), and Élizabeth Bourgine (Elite Squad).
