Josephine recently gave fans an idea of what to expect from the show during an Instagram Q&A. When asked if the show is "lighthearted" like Death in Paradise, or "more serious", Josephine wrote: "I'd say more serious."

She also revealed that she currently has no plans to reprise her role as DS Florence Cassell in the long-running BBC crime drama after leaving at the end of series 13. When asked if she misses filming in Guadeloupe, the 39-year-old penned: "Not really. I had a great time and I made the best out of it. I have amazing memories and met amazing people too. But time to move on."

So, what can fans expect from Josephine's new show? 

The official synopsis reads: After Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny ‘Fitz’ Fitzpatrick digs too deeply into a local politician’s nefarious activity, he is exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon (the French Territory nestled in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Newfoundland).

"Fitz's arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Geneviève 'Arch' Archambault, a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons. Saint-Pierre is a police procedural with French star Josephine Jobert as Arch and Canadian star Allan Hawco as Fitz, and James Purefoy rounding out the stellar team."

It continues: "As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tends to wash up on its beautiful shores. At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together… a veritable crime-fighting force."

Saint-Pierre will air in 2025.
