Despite hopes from series scribe Andrew Davies that it would go to a second season, it's one and done for Sanditon. ITV has cancelled the adaptation of Jane Austen's unfinished novel after a single season, TVWise has confirmed. The cancellation comes mere weeks before the series is set to premiere state-side on PBS. 
Nina Wadia (EastEnders), Steve Pemberton (Inside No.9), Jade Anouka (Cleaning Up), Javone Prince (PhoneShop), Adrian Edmondson (The Young Ones), Alexander Vlahos (Versailles), Nell Hudson (Victoria), Samuel West (Mr Selfridge) and Samantha Bond (Downton Abbey) have been tapped to guest star in the upcoming ninth season of BBC One's drama series Death In Paradise. 
Death In Paradise has found its new DI. Ralf Little (The Cafe, The A Word) has been set as the new lead in BBC One's Caribbean-set crime drama. He replaces Ardal O'Hanlon who is poised to exit the series in its upcoming ninth season. Little will play Detective Inspector Neville Parker, who is reluctantly dispatched to the fictional island of Saint Marie to investigate the suspicious death of a woman from his home city, Manchester. 
The BBC and Red Planet Pictures have released an image teasing the new lead actor who will replace Ardal O'Hanlon as the new Detective Inspector on Death In Paradise. As TVWise reported last week, O'Hanlon is poised to exit the Caribbean set crime drama and will make his final appearance as Detective Inspector Jack Mooney during the show's ninth season, which is set to premiere in early 2020. 
Death In Paradise is losing another lead actor. Ardal O’Hanlon, who plays Detective Inspector Jack Mooney, is set to exit the series after three seasons. His final appearance will be during the show's ninth season, which is set to air in 2020. No word just yet on who will replace him as the new lead. The series has already been renewed for season ten. ITV has released the trailer for their upcoming Jane Austen adaptation Sanditon, which is set to premiere later this year. Sandition tells the story of the joyously impulsive, spirited and unconventional Charlotte Heywood and her spiky relationship with the humorous, charming Sidney Parker. When a chance accident transports her from her rural hometown of Willingden to the would-be coastal resort of the eponymous title, it exposes Charlotte to the intrigues and dalliances of a seaside town on the make, and the characters whose fortunes depend on its commercial success. 
ITV has released five first look images from their upcoming Jane Austen adaptation Sanditon, which is set to premiere later this year. 
Filming has started on the ninth season of BBC One's Caribbean-set crime drama Death In Paradise. Production is taking place on the French-Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. As TVWise previously reported, Aude Legastelois, who plays Detective Sergeant Madeleine Dumas, has been upped to series regular for season nine. She joins returning cast members Ardal O’Hanlon, Tobi Bakare, Shyko Amos, Don Warrington and Elizabeth Bourgine.
