Ralf Little bids farewell to the popular TV series, Death in Paradise, as his character, DI Neville Parker, exits the show. Little held the role of Detective Inspector for four years, making him the longest-serving one. During his time on the show, he overcame various challenges and even faced an attempt to frame him for murder, emerging as Saint Marie’s most enduring sleuth.
Alongside Little, Josephine Jobert, who portrayed DS Florence Cassell, has also departed from the UK drama. The Executive Producer, Tim Key, praised Little’s contribution to the series, highlighting his confidence and talent in portraying Neville. Key also added “I can’t thank Ralf enough for everything he has brought to the show, on and off screen, and wish him all the very best for the future.”
As the show moves forward, a new lead cast member will be announced soon to fill the void left by Little’s departure. Despite the changes in the cast, Death in Paradise will continue its legacy with a fourth feature-length Christmas special and a new series set to premiere in 2025. The show remains a beloved mystery series with a loyal audience who enjoy the mysteries regardless of who is solving them.
